Marvin -- Mea Culpa




Marvin:

Indeed, you have posted it before. The moment I saw it, I recognized it. Thanks for your enduring patience.

I should have asked for the formula for "nuetral" grays. This kind of baffles me. Grays, it seems to me, will, or can be either warm or cool, depending on how you make them and whether you've purposely, or inadvertently gotten the mix a little too blue or orange, as in the case of burnt sienna and ultramarine blue, which can lean brownish (red), or coolish (blue).

Grays made from complements can slip subtley into warm or cool.

You noted that gray from b&w is bluish, and thus, cool

How do you hit that neutral mark, and with which paints?
