Reds
What would you say was the difference between those two reds; Indian Red and Terra Rosa? Marvin
Of the "brick" reds which one do you use most? Many painters find the earth reds lead to flat , dull colors due to their opaque nature. Sargent used only one for example then sparingly. Sargent used Mars Orange and cadmium red. Earth reds also tend to cost the painter transparency in the halftones and darks. Many artists have dropped the color completely from their palettes because of these traits.
This Godward for example has little earth red color in it.
