Today I will talk about one of my own colour creations - “Flüsch-grün”.
If you have been watching my shop for a while, you might have noticed how much I love to add a dash of PB71 here and there. I think it’s the most loved pigment in my product range, and while I will go further on PB71 on a separate post, it’s worth mentioning that this colour wouldn’t have made it if it wasn’t for the said pigment.
It was originally named “Sprout Green”, made of PY150 and PB71. I tweaked the ratio a bit, and immediately thought of the eyes of Flüsch - one of the two furry friends I share my life with. PY150 is a rather strong colour on its own, and the dull, soft, muted cerulean blue balanced it all nicely, adding some nice granulating effect to it.
Upon opening up my shop, I decided to include a small mixed media painting of Flüsch in every order that contains Flüsch-grün paint(s). These(top seven images) are the first set of works that were sent out to new homes along with the paints. I really enjoyed the whole process of making them, and it’s also a good exercise to keep myself motivated in drawing and trying new techniques!
