![]() ![]() To get GREN values 2-4 she mixes viridian+raw umber with cadmium green. I use the portrait palette but not this one. (various mixtures of black and white to produce 9 values of grey) Once you determine, for example, that you want an orange of value 7, then you control saturation by adding a value 7 grey to the cadmium orange which is the value 7 orange. Saturation seems to be controlled by the grayscale mixtures cited above in the portrait palette. ![]() For example, YR (orange) value 1 is burnt umber value 2 seems to be a combination of burnt umber and burnt sienna, value 3 is burnt sienna, values 4-6 are combinations of burnt sienna and cad orange, values 8 and 9 are cad. The same seems true for the rest of the colors. My guess from the first palette listed for portraits is that different combinations of the Viridian/raw umber mixture and the cadmium green are mixed to produce values 2-4 (more cadmium green for value 4 and more Viridian/raw umber for value 2) and then white is incrementally added to the cadmium green to produce values 6 through 9. ![]() What’s missing are the values between 1 and 5 and values higher than 5. The 5/6 Viridian + 1/6 Raw Umber = GREEN only at the 1st value, at the fifth value Cadmium Green = GREEN. The colors listed look like they’re meant to be at the maximum saturation since they come straight from the tube. I wasn’t able to find a Munsell palette with paint pigments other than the one you posted so I can’t say for certain that it is correct but it looks useful and should be easy enough to decipher. ![]()
