Thank you for showing a dynamic range of greys. Your video is easy to follow and remember! The greys mixed on the palette are definitely beautiful. Good for shadows and clouds in watercolors.

My current project is a Blue Footed Boobie and besides the bright aqua, turquoise blues I'm working on learning how to blend, this on the greys is just what I needed for the parts of this zany-looking bird that aren't of course blue. Thank you

Thank you for the excellent tutorial. So if I want a light grey, something like silver grey, all it takes is to add more water to the mixture?

@CrystalBesharaArtist

You got it ! Exactly. Value changes from light to dark depending on how much water you add.

I watched this 4 months ago but already forgot. If you use these colors to make gray , would you use them in the entire painting on their own for harmony? Hope that makes sense.

You bet, mix and match to your hearts content! Let me give you some context: Here is an example of some of my oil paintings using a range of these: 1) crystalbeshara.com/shoporiginals/thickasthieveswolves 2) crystalbeshara.com/shoporiginals/serenitysmalloil and some of my watercolours: 3) crystalbeshara.com/shoporiginals/the-dance 4) crystalbeshara.com/shoporiginals/presencemuskox this one is just the sky: 5)crystalbeshara.com/shoporiginals/resonancewatercolour

Can you suggest a blue alternative to Prussian? I love your gray creations!

oh my goodness so sorry I never saw this until now. You probably found one already, BUT, you could try Phthalo Blue Red Shade and even Winsor Blue Red shade. With both options, you may need a bit of burnt umber in there to dull down a titch. Prussian is like a dark denim colour :)

Hi, can I suggest you try indanthrene blue PB60. This is a darker pigment a little more red-leaning, high tinting strength, non-granulating and lightfast. I love it for mixing neutrals and really dark greys.

I read that Prussian blue a fugitive color? Is that true?

It depends on the brand but many archivists indicate “The modern pigment is lightfast, except when mixed with an abundance of white.” Which of course as a purist most don’t use white. That said you can use WINSOR BLUE if you’re concerned - however I’ve looked back at paintings of mine that are over 30 years old and nothing has changed. Hope this helps !
