I used acrylics throughout. I tried mixing various primary shades together to form a range of colours, adjusting the proportion of colours to form approximate grey shades. I noted that some combination of shades were more successful than others in producing the shade I was after. A marvelous range of greyish shades were made, some warm, some cooler. I also found the edit function for images so I have increased the size of the pictures.
The grey shades in detail. Sorry the images aren't rotated I'll sort this out for future chapters when I upload images from my camera to computer.
Before making shade cards, I chose five colours from the range I had made and diluted these with water producing a really interesting range of colours, I found that as I did each one that the colours affected how they appeared beside each other. So whilst each row appeared grey as it was being done, once it was looked at in relation to the others, it appeared warmer or greener or pinkier than it did alone. I hope that makes sense.
I chose three of the greys and made shade cards producing , I hope, a range of cooler and warmer shades. I have to add that it was hard to make exactly the same colour twice, even having made notes on how much of each colour I used.
