Daniel Smith Gray titanium
Gray titanium is one of those colours that I didn’t buy straight away. I was doing fairly well without it as I had several other greys. But after about a year or so I began to look for a couple of other greys that I thought I were ‘missing’.
This is because most (all) of the greys I was using up to that point were relatively dark and they all looked fairly similar. Neutral colours are super important in art and without them your art just doesn’t look the same (I’d argue that they’re even more important than browns). Ideally I wanted a light grey as well as a cold grey.
I looked beyond Schmincke and found a few new types of grey. Gray titanium is a warm tone and it is fairly light (meaning you can use as much as you want and it still looks grey, not black). The other grey I decided upon was Old Holland’s cold grey (more on that in another post).
Every since I found it, I started to paint my cerebellums with gray titanium. It just looked right.
