After having done several paintings with bright colors, I decided to go with something more subtle. I mixed up some unbleached titanium, green gold, rust, raw umber and navy blue. When they hit the paper, I was horrified. It all looked awful. I had completely written off this painting. I didn't even want to bring it in the house. Well, first impressions can be deceiving. It's amazing how something that looks like a trainwreck overall looks quite different matted. I extracted two 16x20 paintings from it, and I love the real organic look to them.
