SAP GREEN

Sap Green builds to a very dark, nearly black layered and used full strength but has great transparency and makes smooth washes that can be lifted easily even though it is a staining color. well for a staining color. Because it is made with three pigments, it may not always play nicely with every color in a mix. Daniel Smith recommends mixing it with "Pyrrol Orange to make a stellar redwood brown and Rhodonite Genuine for an interesting neutral blend".

How Many Greens Must You Own?

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.
