Re: First steps into tri-colour gum
You might be interested in Nita Leland's book "Exploring Color" which was recommended on the list some years ago. It's really for painters but has a lot to say to gummists. Her Old Masters palette is raw sienna, burnt sienna and Payne's grey. I've done some prints with yellow ochre and burnt sienna over cyanotype which have a nice old-world feel to them.
