Palette Set up and mixing The original piece was painted with Genesis Heat Set Oils. There is a conversion chart included if you care to use traditional oils. TW: Titanium White Y: Genesis Yellow R: Genesis Red O: Orange (or mix R + Y) QC: Quinacridone Crimson UB: Ultramarine Blue RS: Raw Sienna BU: Burnt Umber Blk: Mars or Carbon Black PG: Pthalo Green 01 Mixes: Warm White: TW + a small amount of Y How to use the codes on the value placement guides Each object is placed using 1, 2 or 3 steps. The first step is the form, the second and third are embellishments. The codes for the values are:... = Light (L) and/or building up to Highlight (HL) //// = High Dark (HD) and/or going down to Dark (D) XXXX = Low Dark (LD) blank = Medium (M) Value Placement Guide These guides are illustrated throughout this lessons and will show how to create the form of each object. The light source is from the upper left, slightly in front. The light areas will be on the left and above the center line. The dark areas will be on the right and become gradually darker as the object recedes from the light. Mixing Formulas Formulae for mixing is given throughout this lesson. You will find that the mixes for the hue are given first. This is followed by a colour that will raise or lower the value. Once the value and colour are mixed, the next addition usually is meant to either brighten or dull the colour. Finally, a colour may need to be mixed into the pile that will adjust the temperature.
