Continuing with this painting, I've focused on the under layers as I use the new M. Graham Maroon Perylene that was sent to me by the company. Because this paint is very staining, I decided to use it in various strengths with Winsor (Phthalo) Blue to create a deep lavender for the striations in the Venitian glass vase. Because I am layering glazes of blues and greens over these fine lines, I need them to remain and not dispurse with the glazes. The staining power of both these pigments help with that. I continue to build up reds of the grapes, adding WN alizarin crimson and DS Quinacridone Red to maroon perylene. A touch of new gambogue warms up a few of the grapes.
