These are the transparent and translucent pigments for Picturatranslucida..
When painting on shiny metal support, a clear area is usually the
area seen as dark.
Painting with dark opaque colors is sometimes done in the anchor
area of an image as on page ONE.
In a reflection zone, White does not necessarily appear white and this must be accounted for as on page ONE.

Notice how the area with white on the right side looks dark when there is a reflection of light in the area. That's very tricky to work with. You see the darks stay dark. |
