You can mix nice cool and warm grays using cad red med, ultramarine blue, cad lemon and white. Sometimes I tone the board first but most times I paint on white. Good to know you are on the mend!!Karen Johnston Daily Paintingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853035587707203349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963651911800801225.post-78077611567024079602013-08-22T21:35:50.983-04:002013-08-22T21:35:50.983-04:00Thanks Meredith.

I had it on my calendar for weeks and then I had to have this surgery. I told everyone, my goal was to go to this meeting tonight. Glad I went. I'm a little sore tonight, but nothing too bad. I took a shower today. Wooo Wooo!Sharon L.

You can put different colored paper or cloth behind them to see what color you want for your background and shadows. I'm sure your creative mind will creating fascinating combinations if you try still life for awhile!
