phthalo green – ThreeSixFiveArt

DS Phthalo green (PG7)

DS Quinacridone lilac (PR122)

QoR Green Gold (PY129) (this should be DS rich green gold, but I don’t have that)

Even my trash is pretty with this bright triad of colors:

I mentioned this group of colors in a previous post, and am still astounded by it. None of these are on my “every day” palette (or, any of my palettes) But I will be playing around with them a bit more, and seeing if I come up with other groups I love. I’ve included the pigment numbers, because you don’t have to use these brands. You may have this triad in your arsenal already!

Look at these colors!!!!

Does this bright vivid palette amaze you, like it does me? Let us know in the comments. Do you have another triad you love, that you’d like me to try out?

Just doodling tonight, trying to see how many shades of green I can get mixing phthalo green with the other colors in my Schmincke palette. PG7 has been one of my least favorite shades of green, but everyone seems to love it so much. And… look how well it plays with others! (To be honest, I’m starting to kind of like this Schmincke one, even on its own.) I can see why it is a staple on so many palettes. And probably will become a favorite of mine as well. Definitely in a limited palette, anyway, without the lovely convenience greens I enjoy so much. You can make pretty much any green out of this… bright, muted, deep… Although nothing granulates like Daniel Smith’s green apatite genuine, today phthalo green may have won me over.
