I had some bits and pieces of paper cuttings from old paintings and used them for a quick series of 'rust' paintings. The main colour used in the background is iron oxide red/brown, which is quite literally rust. I mixed in another earth colour called umber, and then overlaid with quinacridone purple, and bismuth yellow. The subsequent paintings include indo blue or quinacridone rose. These are very odd sizes! When I get through the odd sizes I plan to go back to more standard sizes.
