Cindy Briggs and Theresa Goesling did a demo at Seattle Daniel Smith (“the mothership”) today. It was called “One Step to Rich Darks & Neutrals”.
As I was looking through various flickr groups/pools early this morning, I found this by Gentian Osman. She was playing with the new Neurtral Tint watercolor by DS. I commented on it, she responded and it turns out she’s in Seattle and said the demo at DS would be on this new color.
Sure enough, Cindy & Theresa showed how they work with Daniel Smith’s new Neutral Tint: “when mixed with any watercolor pigment, produces glowing, darker values of that color” (from the current catalog). There’s more on the DS website. And DS staff indicated Gentian did the demonstration panel on the right. The one on the left was done during this demo.
Two good things today. I learned about Neurtral Tint, about which I had never heard before. Second good thing was discovering Gentian’s flickr stream and blog. I’m a fan…. she does some excellent work.
Very interesting. Thanks for the directions to Gentian’s blog as well.
I am sorry I couldn’t make it to that demo because I’m thinking of trying a tube of that Neutral Tint… It sounds like a good solution to some of my watercolor issues.
Take a look at the DS video link in my post. That will give you about as much as the demo did!
