Alizarin Crimson, Quinacridone Rose, and Phthalo Green

     It's pretty cold out there today. My computer says it's 20 degrees right now. Not the best motivator for painting in the garage.  Not to mention that today was my first day back at work in over two weeks. Even though I was tired, cranky, and cold I still kind of looked forward to my hour with my paints. I had forgotten about the awesome names on the tubes. Alizarin crimson, which reminds me of a prehistoric reptilian blood bath.  Quinacridone rose might be a slightly embarrassing side-effect from taking too much quinacridone. Phthalo green sounds a little sci-fi, but mostly I enjoy the unnecessary consonants at the beginning of phthalo.
     I added a little color to the sketch from yesterday.  I'm slowly remembering how to do this again.  Now I need to take or find some pictures to use for the younger me.
