I wanted to show the students that in the C.F. Payne mixed media technique when Mr. Payne uses the very thinned oil mixture of Dioxazine purple, Permanent Green light and a bit of Burnt Sienna to darken and neutralize everything, they could sue other color mixtures or even one color to achieve the same effect. In the blue Lincoln, the oil color was Payne’s (no relation to Chris Payne) gray and some ultramarine blue for a little more blue color. In the brown Lincoln, I used a Gamblin oil color Asphaltum which is much like Burnt Umber. The results were good. And the blue lincoln was accpeted into the 3×3 Annual Proshow. So it goes to show you if you change a simple subject’s color to a different not expected color, your work will get into illustration annuals!
