INKY LITTLE OLIVE

 

The basic recipe is:

 

3 parts Herbin Vert Olive

1 part Herbin Lie de The

 

I found Vert Olive alone too light and yellowish, but adding Lie de The really deepens the colour to something truly, well, olive-y. It runs quite wet but dries quite quickly, and has beautiful Herbin shading. Yum.

 

(I've currently run out of Vert Olive, but when I get some more, I will try to post a comparison shot of the 3 shades together.)

Say, that's a nice way to put Vert Olive to use. As much as I love the color of VO, like you , I find it too light on the paper. Thanks for the recipe!
