Anna and I are painting the Lahaina banyan tree tonight. Tomorrow the lights will come down. Our media is copal in oil. This is the smoothest blending painting media. Garrette Copal Medium. I never liked the brands of copal I tried until I tried Ron Garrett's [ron@garrettcopal.com]; there wasn't enough control. His brand painted beautifully.
Anna started with it and loves it. Me too. Anna is just starting to paint, this will be her 4th painting. We are painting by existing light from the Christmas ornaments. The night light itself has an orange cast, absorbing the orange pigment colors. Blue pigment looks browner, magenta looks orange. |

This photo was shot in the existing night light.
It is what it looked like while I was painting. ![]() |
This is how it looked in daylight.
I need a good portable fluorescent light for outside work, like in my van, for more accurate colors. ![]() |
