I worked on Booth at the Fair<\/em> these past two days.  It’s starting to move my way.  I can struggle with paintings for a variety of reasons, sometimes technical, sometimes who knows what.  This painting hit a groove straightaway and began to slide into place, except I didn’t want it to go that direction.  Now, like I said, it’s beginning to go the direction that I want. <\/p>\n

I took Prussian blue and phthalo blue out of my palette 3-4 years ago.  I used to use Prussian blue a lot.  Prussian blue and phthalo blue are very staining colors.   In the photo of my palette, you can see that the rag has a blueish tint.  You have to guard against these blues overpowering your other colors.    <\/p>\n

Yesterday, I added Prussian blue to my palette and today I added phthalo blue.  I have several tubes left from when I used them both regularly.  You can see four piles of phthalo blue in the middle of the palette; each is from a different vendor.  One is from my ex-fav Old Holland.<\/p>\n

Phthalo blue (PB17) is extremely popular today and has largely replaced Prussian blue (PB27).  Prussian blue is darker and inky-er than phthalo, but phthalo is a better complement to flesh tones, burnt sienna-based tones, anyway.<\/p>\n

Because of its popularity, manufacturers play around with the pigment (copper phthalocyanine) <\/i>which results in a lot of variety in tone, although they are all dark and staining (at least of those I’ve tried).<\/p>\n

After putting them both back in my palette, I intend to settle on one permanently.  If I had to guess which one will be the eventual winner, it would be phthalo. But we’ll see.<\/p>\n
