Experiment in black

 I finished my video on painting with black watercolors and you can click HERE to watch.




This is the painting, well a rough study, that I completed on that video. Used primary colors mixed with the three blacks, ivory, lamp and mars to create a moody palette. The lamp black stayed close to it's original color absorbing the hues I added. But ivory and Mars black took on the hues of the added colors to create olive green, dark red and a plum. 


I believe that black has been given a tough break and not enouch credit in blending with other colors to create new shades and hues. 

Right now I'm studying staining, granulation, opacity and transparency. My head is already spinning.
