i cut the bristles of a stiff bristle brush. Flat and at an angle. I mute the initial colors with the brush…softening them, blending them, sometimes to nothing at all.
When i got the Inktense Pencils, i looked at their bottom ends that i supposed would be a clue as to their color. Not so much at all. So i did this. On muslin. Being in love with mute and barely there, i gave self a little map to what i might get from them.
i used this today when trying to find a way to say…..OAK TREE. OAK TREE, thick and Strong but ethereal. How do you do that? I began with Paynes Gray. Everything begins and ends with Paynes Gray
