Series 2

The magic of Phthalo Green unfolds in chromatic adventures. Combining it with Cadmium Yellow Medium produces Cadmium Green, while additional Phthalo Green transforms it into Brunswick Green—a shade rooted in British standards, notably British racing green and the iconic green of British steam trains. Diverse greens emerge with pairings like Australian Ghost Gum for a mid-sea green, Yellow Oxide for a light olive, or Raw Sienna for a dark olive hue.

Phthalo Green's prowess extends to the realm of blacks. A fusion with Matisse Rose Madder yields an intense yet transparent black, distinct from tube blacks. This mixed black, reminiscent of the genuine Ivory Black used by old masters, brings variability to the palette. Substituting Matisse Rose Madder with other dark cool reds introduces a unique touch, offering a spectrum of blacks suited to different subjects. In the world of Phthalo Green, every mixture becomes a nuanced exploration, adding interest and depth to the artist's palette.
