Great! Let me know if it works. Managing these super strong colors is a tough job especially when painting outside. Better do a painting in the studio before taking it outside.
@@KaustavMukherjeeFineArt Thanks yest - going to practice with mixing hopfully yet today or tomorrow. I'm thinking the Pthalo Blue will help me create the aquas I'm going to need for the water. Leelanau County - where I will be painting is surrounded by water. Thank you again!
Well! I challenged myself in painting a 24x18...and I painted a beach scene. Practicing mixing colors certainly helped - but I must admit I had a hard time recreating the colors once I was on location...but I eventually got it. I painted a beach scene and it sold! Yea. I had difficulty mixing enough paint - boy I almost ran out! Thank you again.
Pr122 magenta tends to be less lightfast than pv19 rose and pr202 magenta (which is muted) and PR209 red (which is saturated and redder). Pr179 perylene maroon is a very deep red as well that pairs nicely with quinacridone rose (per water colorist Jane Blundell) to mix a crimson. It also makes a nice burnt scarlet with warmer reds. There’s also pyrrol rubine/crimson pr264 (which is slightly duller than alizarin but a very close match). I usually search “oil Blick” and the pigment code and if Blick has a match, you can check pigment info.
These are romantic names given to a type of color by manufacturers. Most of the colors would contain a combo of the same pigments. E.g. madder Lake purple of Rembrandt is a mix of PR264 / PV19.
