Re: Tricolor nr 3
I was planing to do monochrome by tricolor (if my color calibrations go well and can get a good color balance) hoping it will give me a monochrome gray in macro scale but something else (!? not sure, just a wish) in micro scale. I had that idea while reading about blacks in handprint.com. It says (in my understanding) that watercolor blacks are not much shiny compared to other colors, because the pigment used in black paints is carbon (different forms depending on production), which is not much shiny compared to other pigments, therefore it may be better to mix black from complementary colors, in order to have equivalent / comparable sheen / luster in the painting... Maybe I'm getting it wrong (in detail) but I'm sure that it said the qualities are different between using carbon as black and mixing black from complementaries and/or triads... Reading your description, I'm more willing to try it later.
