New Paint

Recently I removed some of the more toxic paints from my collection of tubes in order to be better for the environment. To replace the blue I got  version of phthalo blue (yellow shade) and quinacridone scarlet (cherry red). They are very transparent and easy to mix together to produce a range of lilacs and purples. With lemon yellow I was able to make various tints and blends. The painting here is a trial of the various colours in washes and layers, along with some ultramarine blue for comparison.
