I’m discovering that I like Cernit extra that I anticipated. I had not realized that it’s so sturdy when it’s cured. I’ve made 17 stepped color playing cards and a couple of worth strains to this point. Making this many will let me discover the very best beginning colors and remove some colors that do not ship the very best mixing energy. My purpose is to make a set of playing cards that ship constant predictable colors with the least variety of beginning colors.
As I work I’m discovering colors that I want I had ordered extra of and a few that I’m just a little disappointing. For instance Xmas Pink 463 is a particular winner with nice mixing power however Pink 400 is a color that I could not order once more. Extra about pink and mixing energy in one other put up.
I make a chart just like the one within the image once I need to take a look at a brand new model of clay. The colors are listed throughout the highest and down the left facet. The diagonal pencil squares point out the place on the chart the place a color can be blended with itself. I can mark off potential color strains I need to strive, then I examine off every one on completion. The cured squares on the prime of the chart are all the colors I’m going to discover. The squares on the highest line are further colors I ordered as a result of I used to be curious.
The gathering unicorn poop on the prime proper is the leftovers from mixing the playing cards on the prime and on the correct of the image. I’m trying ahead to utilizing them in initiatives once I need to take just a little break for mixing color strains.
