jdaneman - I had seen that painting in another thread. I like it a lot.
Very *cold* feeling. :D |

I don't think it's really that worthwhile: it's a nice standard Aliz. with a warmer tone than most, but it's suspect for lightfastness, if that bothers you. I have a window test going. What I do like about it is that it is bright and doesn't dull down in washes, as some alizarins seem to do in my hands. |

I've never encountered aliz. golden-- is it useful? |

It might also have some Grumbacher Aliz. Golden in it, come to think of it. |

Thanks, Robert. I believe it's AJ Indian Red. And that was the idea--the dog has a warm "heart." |

What color did you use for that one red spot. I like that--it's "warmth" tends to emphasize the cold. |

Thanks, Robert, but I have some stocked in, and think Maimeri will be a good substitute in future.

Hey J--
Don't know if you are interested --but I have 5 unused tubes of Grumbacher Finest Thalo Blue and 6 of Grumbacher Finest Ultramarine Blue I'll let go for $25 plus about $4 shipping. You or anyone interested? I want to ween myself from Grumbacher. |

This was mainly Sky Blue and Arctic Ice (AJ) and Thalo blue gs (Grumbacher.) For an example of blues used to represent coldness. |

Gotcha. Except I think you misunderstood my question, which was: what would *you* use :) I'm more curious about specific colors that other people use to express the feeling of 'coldness.'
But thanks for answering - I always hate leaving posts that no one bothers with :] |

A more complete answer depends on a lot of factors; like how long you have been painting, what kinds of colors you have in your paint box, what the objects (elements of the scene) to be painted are, how much you know about mixing colors, and so on..
I think the simplest way to answer the question is to tell you to just add more blue to the colors that you are using. The coldest blue leans toward the yellow side of the blue range, (something like a Thalo blue on the green side, or cool Cobalt) but that means nothing because the colors you use elsewhere will have an affect on the appearance of the blue that you choose. Any number of different palettes will give you the mixed colors that you need to represent a cold day (in other words you don’t need to change your palette). The key really is “blue”. |

Alrighty--lets say you're doing a painting of a winter landscape. There's no snow. What colors would you use to create the feeling of *cold* |
