More Studio Business

 The other day I brought home a color proof on St Dwynwen on okawara to see what colors I had, and if I would need any more, to complete the job.  Part of this was successful in that I did identify some of the colors I may have used, and colors I had that I can use for the new copies.  However, some I was just not sure of, and since I printed those new ones on Rives paper, it made sense that I test new color mixes on that paper.  And I do have some scraps from trimmed prints of that paper.  However, those are all at the Studio, so today I brought everything back there.  First task of the day was to see what I had and what I could do with it.  I had made sample cards of the previous paints I bought, but not of all the new ones, so I did that.   Then I mixed a few colors to simulate what I had previously used on the print to see if I could match it.

I think that I did. I will let the ink on the proofs I pulled a few days ago continue to dry until next week, then color them with what I found today.  That only took a few minutes, then on to the real work.
