Re: First steps into tri-colour gum

["Christina Z. Anderson" <zphoto@montana.net>]

Hi John,
More natural pastel?  Raw Sienna for the yellow (quite weak), Daniel Smith 
PR209 Quinacridone coral for the red, and ultramarine blue for the blue 
and/or cut pigment load way down on any color combo. More pop?  Rowney 
Permanent Yellow PY 138, Perylene Red PR178 DS and thalo blue.  Or increase 
pigment load. The Rowney Yellow is soooo yellow it is very easy to overdo 
it, a good thing if you want to do Pop.  However, Pop usually has some form 
of hot pink in it and you might be better served with a quinacridone magenta 
PR19 like M. Graham Quinacridone Rose.
