One last blog for the day, here is another famous palette cleanser (My favorite is still the first one!). The idea behind this one was to create a campy lamp, like the ones consisting of a mannequin leg, or maybe a flamingo. It turned into more of a stone monolith with clouds, or an atomic explosion! Most of the painting was isoindo yellow (PY110) a warm, nearly orange yellow that I started using this year after reading Handprint.com (MacEvoy). I use this yellow so much, that I bought a bigger tube. Since I started using it to mix olive greens, I also decided this week to have benzimida yellow (PY154) and isoindo yellow each represented twice on my palette.That way I have yellows for warm mixes, and yellows for green mixes. Cleaning the paints helps too, hence the palette cleaning! 9 x 12" watercolour paper, watercolour, September2020
