Dear Garth,

I mixed 9 values of neutral (ivory black, raw umber, & flake white), 9 values of yellow ochre (adding raw umber to darken values), 9 values of red ochre & 9 values of Indian Red (adding ivory black to darken and flake white to lighten). It took several days to tube them all, but it's so much easier to squeeze out only what I need. Later I added ultramarine in values 5, 6, & 7, and asphaltum in values 1, 2, & 3.

I would love to know more about the referencing system you developed. All those values! Wow! What colors did you use?

Again, your painting is excellent!

Renee
