    hi Janet, your work is increadible!
    I actually have a question for you about making pthalo blue green shade.
    I ask, as I came across your comment on wet canvas, about how to make viridian from ultramarine blue and sap green and burnt umber and it worked! Thank you!

    I only use earth pigments and dyes so I can mix almost all the essential colours, except for a pthalo blue that has a green shade, or any dark blue that tends toward green.
    I only have ultramarine blue, pthalo blue red shade and indigo. ( And a turquoise but it's a pale shade, it looks like it's mixed with white) . Thanks :) and if your can't help , thanks for your art and viridian idea!!
