Cadmium free and loving it.

[Richard Budig]

Goodness. I certainly hope that I have not said anything that sounds like sniping. I find it fascinating to read about the colors other artists use.

After reading Marvin's list of colors, and his thoughts on red, I dug out some old tubds of Venetian and Indian Reds, and playe with them all one morning. I was fascinated by how closely I could approximate the very colors I get with my cad red light, which, because of its sharp nature, I find necessary to cut with something like raw umber, cobalt, viridian, etc. Made me think that I'll add some Venitian (it's warmer than Indian) to my palette since it automatically mixes NOT SO HOT as does cad red.
