[It has been pointed out to me that I have misspelled CELADON. Whoops! Very bad manners. I won't change it in the post or video; just humor me and my misspelling. (Thanks, Lucie).]
I get asked about this color pretty frequently. Celedon. It's a color from Blick Matte Acrylics, and it is only available in 2 oz bottles. I typically put four to six bottles of it in each Blick order. I recommend you do the same, so that they might consider offering it in the 8 oz size. However, you can mix your own, and get some variation and nuance to your taste:
This is the "piece" I made with the leftovers.
This piece obviously relies heavily on this celedon range of color. This is an example in my Balancing Opposites composition course: balancing large areas with small elements.
This is the GIVEAWAY!!!
I am offering a giveaway that includes:
8 oz bottle of Black
8 oz bottle of White
2 oz bottle of Celedon
1 oz (I think) of Golden Open Hansa Yellow. (The Open acrylics take longer to dry, but mixed with other colors they just extend the working time a bit).
To enter the drawing, just comment on this post, and identify yourself. I will post a winner on Wedneesday, February 18, and it is the winner's responsibility to contact me with a mailing address. Good luck! And have fun mixing your own celedon and other beautiful neutrals.
