Hi all...
After making several tricolor gums, I am feeling
that my yellow layer is a bit on the heavy side. Where I am expecting muted
yellow-browns in my final print, I am seeing a brighter shade slightly on the
garish side. I see this with oranges as well. Where I expect a more terracotta
color I am seeing a brighter orange.
How can I correct for this? Should I mute the
yellow by doubling the gum arabic in the pigment mixture? Or expose that layer
less?
I can also change colors...at the moment I use Cad
Yellow Pale, along with Quin Red and Phthalo Blue RS, all Daniel Smith pigments.
Maybe toning the Cad Yellow down with something like Raw Sienna will mute the
vibrancy...
Thanks!
Paul
