In the matter of color: the Hon. James T. Giles

[Garth Herrick]

I went somewhat over the top in a cataloging effort to know what the color was that I was using on my brush. I did a number of test swatches on sheets of mylar showing progressive color mixing as i blocked out the flesh tones, robe, and flag. I don't know if anyone else does things like this or not. It's perhaps one of my technique secrets.

Here is a website for Vasari paints:

I like their products. There is never anything wimpy about their pigment content and tinting strength.

My guess is, "not". Congratulations again, Garth!

Well dear Linda,

You are probably right. My workflow can be stupendously complex at times. I would not wish the grief upon anyone!
