Day Nine 01/09/17 "Thirty Paintings in 30 Days"
Today my color is Permanent Rose (PR) made by Winsor & Newton Artists' Color in France. This is a transparent color in the violet family. The pigment or Color Index (C.I.) is PV19. This is my cool red. It has a value of approximately 3 (on the value scale with 10 being white) and an intensity or chroma of 10. It has a color bias of blue and violet, and because of this, it is a great red to make beautiful violets. You would not want to use this red to make oranges.
The Permanence Rating is A and it is a series 2 color. This means it is considered permanent and is not that expensive, about $10-12 per small 37ml tube.
So now I have a cool (PR) and a warm (CR) red. It is important to try to have a cool and a warm color of each primary color, unless of course you are using a very limited palette.
In doing today's charts, I took the Permanent Rose (PR) and placed it by itself in the first top square. I then tinted it by adding Titanium White for 4 additional values below this top square.
Next, in the second column, I mixed my Permanent Rose (PR) with all my other individual colors in a ratio of 75% Permanent Rose (PR) and 25% of the next color, like Alizarin Crimson (AC). I then added white to this mixture for 4 additional values. I did this with all my 21 colors.
Now I think Permanent Rose is my favorite color!!! I know I keep changing my mind, but these mixtures today are gorgeous!! They will be perfect for florals! I can't wait to try them out!!
