Purple! It is not a difficult color to work with or mix. To get the exact purple color you want is another story. I remember in my classes years ago the instructor told the class of 20 to mix the color of a STOP Sign. None of us got it right. That was my problem with purple this week. It is too complicated too explain in detail but I went through every tube of purple, blue and red. Mixed many many combinations that didn't work. I went into the deep spaces of my oil paint drawer. There it was never opened BELLINI "Cobalt Violet". I purchased this tube of paint in 1972 from "Ralph" at the hardware store on Mill St. in Bristol, PA. I had to pry the cap off the tube, but it was still usable. And it solved the problem. I hope you like the results. It took a long time to get here!
