Inktense Purple Mix Testing

As I explain in the next post, I wanted to test out what sort of purples I could get from mixing the reds and blues in my inktense pencils.  Here’s what I came up with in my swatches.  The best purples are all those that use fuchsia as the red (third column).  But what I needed today was a bright (ie non indigo) blue and bright red (which all of them are) that together produced the sort of dark colour that I could use in shadowy areas.  So Shiraz and sea blue is looking interesting…
