We're working out several kinds of "classic" exercises lately. These photos below were from our work on studies of folds in fabrics (red velvet, in this case) and they range from mixing the pigments up to a couple of finished versions by my classmates.
This is my favorite red: toluidine red. It doesn't play well with water (above) but once it starts to get along, it begins to manifest a golden sheen -- like alchemical magic (below).
Cochineal -- first a pale pink but, after Hester added water, it became a fiery red!

My work (yes, it did look like a pile of brains at that point!)
