Outline: I have followed Fred Wagner's recipe for mixing home made clayboard.
I have painted 6 layers onto 5mm cherry plywood 5x7in, although I think I need more
layers or thicker mix, as you can still see the slight grain indent shapes in the clay.
I am gonna be attempting my very first picture with scratching technique of a
Scottish Red highland cow as a practice piece before I attempt a bigger one that
my son wants me do for him.
Question:
How do you make your own Ginger coloured paint mix which is the colour of the cows fur?
Its a kind of Red/Brown-ish colour, so I am thinking Red and Umber, but one of my colour books
shows something kind of near to what I want and it was a mix of Cad Yellow and Violet?
Anyone got any ideas or actually done a dark Ginger type colour?
