Color is important and I love it. The brighter the better. I have started using ‘Opera’. This is a bright pink pigment that I never thought that I would use. When mixed with orange, it makes a brillant hue that really pops on your paper. Another combo that I love is Burnt Sienna and Thioindigo Violet. When these two pigments are mixed you get a deep, juicy, earthy color that adds interest and emotion to landscapes and organic objects.
