Emperor's Silk
This a bright pure red like the red silk lining of a jacket; because of the way it looks we love it used as a interior of a cupboard or drawer. It is named after the red of China
|
 |
| Emperor's Silk painted with texture, with first clear then dark wax applied in parts. Inside the drawer, Aubusson Blue |

ADD WHITE- to make 'Frangipani'
Add equal parts of Old White and Emperor's Silk to make a bright strong exotic flowery pink with a zing, so I've called it FRANGIPANI |
|
 |
ADD MORE WHITE- to make 'Malacca'
Add 3 parts of Emperor's Silk to 1 part of Old White to make a pink I call MALACCA because it reminds me of pinks from Indonesia |
|
|
 |
Adding Old White in 1 part, 2 parts, 3 parts and 4 parts to lighten and bring out the true hue of the colour

 |
| Graphite over Emperor's Silk allowing the red to glow through is a way to give paintwork an exotic eastern look |
