What I loved about doing this one was the intensity of the blue hues in the background. I usually shy away from blues this bluesy, but wanted to stretch again and see about getting comfortable with it. Lots more ultramarine in this than I usually do in my mixes. I purchased 7 new colors from Gamblin the other day. All very non-traditional. I always mix my own colors, which is very time consuming, so I wanted to see how I would like the more pastelly hues already mixed for me. They're not too bad actually. But I found it necessary to go ahead and mix in a bit of the surrounding colors in order to create the harmony that is needed to bring a painting closer together. My mixing time was less, which allowed more time for the real fun!
