It filled my garage, took 2 days to cure and looked perfect: sculpted with carpet, roofing composite, concrete and orchre pigment, I built a minature Elah Valley for the fall of Goliath. I can't show you the final image until it is published, but trust me, it will be award winning!
OK, here is a tiny snip:
I seem to be drawn to tuscany tones. Russets, amber, ochre and sienna. I am constantly picking up trinkets and iron relics to display on shelves, prop open a door, tack onto a fence, or wedge into a tree elbow. Remembrance of things past. A sense of antiquity.
But in this grey NW environment, these hues never ever make it onto my walls. I subscribe Only to an icelandic palette and use primarily iced grayed whites for my wall.
And despite convention, I have no problem using a semi gloss on a plaster wall or a hi-gloss on the ceiling. I Love mixing finishes. One hue, used with different lusters, will create subtle mutations of reflecting light within a room as the quality changes through the seasons.
multiple finishes will take one hue in multiple directions.
it took me weeks to actually match these colors.
