Tokyo pigment shopping

Are there shops besides pigment Tokyo that are fun to explore in Tokyo? I have some suihi pigments and have a general idea of what I want from pigment Tokyo but hoping to find some less popular and similarly cool stores.

Is there something you got in Japan and has become indispensable part of your art journey? Please share that too,

Brown madder comparison

One of these is the original brown madder (root) , one is pr206, one is my mix to make a version of brown madder. Would you compare the three and tell me which two of the three look close to each other in color?

Corny WIP

I only part way through. I like it and am hoping for a good end result. Any tips on making the husk look natural and dramatic? Any other tips?

One addition, one subtraction

Okay, I made one last change. I swapped the blue gray for a gray blue. Ha.

I had been debating about having a purer blue, and seemed like folks gave the same in feedback so I made one to see if it fit and it did! :)

It’s been great for portraits but it also paints so well for landscapes. Putting all the pictures just to show the range and spectrum of skin colors it can achieve.

I’m not generally a portrait painter and I wanted to have mixes which would take the complexity out for those who find them intimidating.

This took me many months to finesse

I made a 12 color “portrait” palette to have the entires spectrum of skin tones mixed and ready on hand. Would you use something like this?

Colors on a drive

On Thursday we drove from Manteca to SF and I made a palette that night based on the colors on the drive. I tried a quick painting and green was missing so I made that tonight. What do you think?

Another fallen leaf

Didn’t realize it was going to “die” some more once I started painting to had to wing some parts
