I would add that ten images obtained with this method are in my page inside the Gruppo Namias site. Just click on "authors" from the left side bar and click on "Alberto Novo", and then look the portfolio "Venetian Gums".
What you see are not exact reproductions of the true colours, though the images look "likely". I used this method to give the peception of the colours instead of showing the true ones. For example, the stones of the paving in Venice are made of trachyte, a stone with a warm hue, but most of the Venician, when asked about its colour, say that it is gray.
Also, for enhancing the consistency of the portfolio, I ever used the same pigment for the sky (which is most othe time cerulean instead of blue here).
