With Autumn upon us, I decided to ride out to the Orange line while the weather was still nice. It was a cool sunny, partly cloudy day, still good for short sleeves. The Mont-Royal station was completely under construction, the only scene I could find was at the rear where there was a small patch of grass to stand on. The blue is indothrene blue (PB60) with some carbon black, which is otherwise known as indigo. Some painters add burnt sienna to make dark blue, I used to do that, but it will de-saturate the blue hue. So adding black is the best way to make dark blue, and to start with a paint that is literally dark blue like indothrene blue. It is a great paint, although on the more expensive side of the products. What's a couple of extra bucks though?
