Check out my new Weekly – Art tip of the Week! Tip 1.

Donna’s Art Tip of the Week – Titanium Vs Zinc White ?

My Art Tip of the Week - Sunday 8th January 2012

Tip 1. Titanium Vs Zinc White ?

Make sure when mixing White to a colour you use the right one for what you are wanting!

Titanium White is more opaque and when added to a colour changes that colour giving it more of a Pastel Tone.

Zinc White is more Translucent and when added to a colour just slightly tones down that original colour rather than changing the overall tone of it.

DS Design …

I have been working on a series of artworks just to be produced into greeting cards and other merchandise … still very much in the early stages… but these cards will be produced under my DS Design name.  For about 2 years now I have been using part of this logo as my signature on the back of artworks so have decided to slightly expand the logo into this …
