I recently moved flats which made me go through all my belongings including my art supply collection. I think this inspired me to use some paints I normally don't reach for, namely Anthraquinoid Red (PR177) and Permanent Brown (PBr25)- two beauties by Daniel Smith. Mixing those two with one of my favourite mixing colors- Brown Green (PY129) by Sennelier (the Daniel Smith version of this is green gold)- yields some beautiful browns. Apart from those three colors I also used Ultramarine and Dioxazine purple. As I failed to preserve the whites I added some Buff Titanium (PW6:1) which is not something I usually do (I'd normally use white gouache or gelly rolls for this purpose). Do you have a favourite mixing color? And are there any colors you find very beautiful but don't use very often? Let me know in the comments. :) Some links are Jackson's Art supply affiliate links.
