painting geek musings

Whether I'm painting in watercolour, acrylic, or gouache, I seem to go through ultramarine faster than any other colour.

With acrylic, burnt umber and white are also way up there — and in fact I have done paintings using only those three, and hope to try more of that.

Same top colours with gouache, but there, white is far and away what I use most of.

Meanwhile, with all of them, I have tubes of other colours I haven't even opened yet. Go figure.
