New Colours

Some colours are very illusive. When using enamel it is never just a matter of mixing a new colour. Red and yellow grains of enamel do not make orange, after firing you see red and yellow speckles.

I had an idea of a way to layer two different yellows to give a deep, bright colour. Combining a translucent and an opaque yellow gave me a zingy yellow, which i will use a lot in the future.

The blue and green combinations also combined an opaque and translucent colour. The depth of colour is fabulous!
