Love this brushes series. The colours and textures are terrific. I particularly love the colourful reflections in the metal ferrules.
What is your recipe for that shiny grey metal? I have problems with that shade of grey and making it look like shiny metal.
My recipe begins with my eyes...I look and look, then look some more and paint what I see. Squinting helps, especially for metallic surfaces because there's so much going on in them. I mix all of my grays from various combinations of the three primaries and white. If I want a warmer gray, I use warmer primaries, like cad red instead of Alizarin crimson. If I want a greener gray I use more of the yellow and blue with just a bit of red to create the gray. I hope that clarifies. If not, please don't hesitate to ask further. I love talking about how I create the art!
I too mix complements to make gray but they always look too dull. Guess I need more color reflections and white.
Great set of brushes, with a nice and intense contrast of colors and best of all .... your brilliance!
Congratulations Brenda!!
