NEUTRAL TINT

Daniel Smith's Neutral Tint, created for artists and teachers, Theresa Goesling and Cindy Briggs from MakeEveryDayAPainting.com when they asked Daniel Smith to come up with a dark watercolor pigment that even beginning artists could use to darken a pigment without muddying it. Its addition to a color doesn't affect its transparency. In fact, the combination of this rich dark neutral and most other colors results in a "glowing dark". I used neutral tint with Hansa Yellow Light to create the shadows on the wings of this Evening Grosbeak. Adding Neutral Tint to Quinacridone Gold created a gentle warmth to the dark areas, both in the yellow and black feathers. It took little more than a few light washes of Manganese Blue and the limited palette gave me all the color I needed.

    SOUL

    “I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
