Medium Scale Jazz Build..... a what now??

[Bridgehouse]

Black.

 

Now, I suspect Black will need a stronger concentration as the same number of drops gave a washed out look, but still pretty nice:

Then Yellow:

And finally Crimson:

Here's all of them labelled up in the (slightly failing) outside light:

And here they are inside under artificial lighting:

 

 

[Bridgehouse]

So, that's set one of the raw colours. More to come and then we will start to look at combining colours!

[Bridgehouse]

Got bored. Did other colours. Dark out so can only take shot inside…

 

 

[Bridgehouse]

Also sanded the three dark colours down from the first batch ready for a second colour to see what happens…

 

 

[Bridgehouse]

I used 120 grit wet and dry to knock the colour down and get a decent contrast going. 
 

Will be interesting to see how other colours look when mixed in..

Very cupric.

No crimson?

That’s weird, when I first saw the additional stains it started at the “got bored” selection.

Nope definitely did crimson…

Final one for today - Added Phthalo Blue to the sanded Black:

 

 

[Bridgehouse]

I’ve got a few that I want to try  - bit open to suggestions now.. any colour combos or things you’d like me to try with the stains?

A worthy attempt, but a long way from 80s black ash.

Only one coat tho. 

[Bridgehouse]

Just for completeness, here's the other colours as a single set with the same dilution in the sun:

[Bridgehouse]

Got me knobs out for some comparators. 
 

Have done a bunch of other colour combos (post sanding) which I’ll photo later..

 

 

[Bridgehouse]

A few more for your consideration - these are under artificial light tho..

Yeah. I quite like that too. I’ve tried a few more since then as well. There’s lots of nice colour combos but I am thinking either Ph Blue/Black or Ph Blue/Green
