I had to bring the wet palette back out though, I don't think I could do it without it. I also always don't mix enough of whatever shade I'm going for. It's a total pain.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-37994815561789339852017-03-24T06:54:45.123-07:002017-03-24T06:54:45.123-07:00Wow, only 8 colors?

It should be a great experience in trying new painting methods. Good luck with it!Joe Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580338400200714419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-20169057084189440192017-03-23T08:37:33.237-07:002017-03-23T08:37:33.237-07:00Thanks Simon, getting there.Thanks Simon, getting there.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-25146308535401652452017-03-23T07:04:05.106-07:002017-03-23T07:04:05.106-07:00Nah you can do it mate.

"We didn't have any fancy triads in our day, and we liked it!" My main gripe is in the fact that I didn't know about it from the start. If I wasn't such a terrible procrastinator it might have been more of a problem.As it stands I hadn't gotten very far with the figure when I found this out.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-65440308071003975542017-03-22T09:40:41.458-07:002017-03-22T09:40:41.458-07:00It seems a somewhat strange requirement - do you k...It seems a somewhat strange requirement - do you know why the competition organisers require the use of no more than 8 colours?<br /><br />I'm sure that it could be done, but I don't see that the techniques you'd learn would be especially useful and how on earth would they judge on this rule anyway?Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-83060505986951736552017-03-22T05:35:52.977-07:002017-03-22T05:35:52.977-07:00Hi Dai, Triads are probably just a scheme to sell ...Hi Dai, Triads are probably just a scheme to sell you more paint, but it's nice to have the color combinations and shade/highlight already mixed for you.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-78251582034214559862017-03-22T05:33:23.506-07:002017-03-22T05:33:23.506-07:00Thank you Michael.
