I love these colors, Phthalo Blue and Raw Umber.
It's my favorite way to make black. It makes a dark, earthy color. I TRY to never use black from a tube, but i do use ink. I am finding my paintings are just a little bit softer when I don't even use the ink.

She looks like an ancient monument that has been there for years. I love the name of phthalo blue and I agree about the black froma tube thing. I was always taught never to use black paint at school and it has stayed with me. I love to teach children (and adults!) how to mix black. The adults in particular often look at me as if I am slightly mad.
I love this artwork! I love phthalo blue, it is one of my favorite blues! Never knew that about mixing to make black!
That's an awesome color combination. That's not the blue and brown I use, but I like the way it looks. I think I might try something with those two colors in honor of Creative Everyday's totally optional monthly prompt of "color."
love this!
