 | Just mix it in until the pile of paint is about the consistency of warm butter. It should be nice and creamy. If it gets "soupy", you’ve added too much. You can fix this by adding more paint, of course, which reduces the copal-to-binder ratio.
If you don't have enough, just add more. |
 | I grab my sky color with my knife and just "pull" it across the sky – wherever I see blue in my subject (the reference photo). |
 | A bad photo, to say the least, but you can see the application of the blue sky color. |
 | I lighten part of my mixture with some more Titanium White, and pull this over the cloudy areas. |
 | I take some pure Titanium White (small amount), and add some highlights on the clouds.
Using pure white is something most artists will (and should) avoid – however, if used sparingly it can add some "punch" to certain areas of a painting as I've shown here. Under the right light such will prove itself quite luminiscent. |
