Bridgehouse Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 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: 1 Quote
Bridgehouse Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 Here's all of them labelled up in the (slightly failing) outside light: 1 Quote
Bridgehouse Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 And here they are inside under artificial lighting: 3 Quote
Bridgehouse Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 So, that's set one of the raw colours. More to come and then we will start to look at combining colours! 2 Quote
Bridgehouse Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 Got bored. Did other colours. Dark out so can only take shot inside… 2 Quote
Bridgehouse Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 Also sanded the three dark colours down from the first batch ready for a second colour to see what happens… Quote
Bridgehouse Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 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.. 1 Quote

Bridgehouse Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 Final one for today - Added Phthalo Blue to the sanded Black: 2 Quote

Bridgehouse Posted December 10, 2021 Author Posted December 10, 2021 Just for completeness, here's the other colours as a single set with the same dilution in the sun: 2 Quote
Bridgehouse Posted December 10, 2021 Author Posted December 10, 2021 Got me knobs out for some comparators. Have done a bunch of other colour combos (post sanding) which I’ll photo later.. Quote
Bridgehouse Posted December 10, 2021 Author Posted December 10, 2021 A few more for your consideration - these are under artificial light tho.. 1 Quote
