Pumpkin Red Yellow & Black

Last night I sat down to watch TV, nothing but murder on it, had no creative motivation so I just decided to sit at my desk.  Once there I thought I'd just get a couple of paints out with no final outcome in mind and see what happens.  I put some Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow and Black acrylic on the pallet and just tried to make as many different colours as I could, then the pumpkin said "paint me"!!...  so I did.  I'm amazed at the amount of colours derived from two primaries and black.  Next time I think I'll try it with the cool yellow and red, i.e. Light (Hansa) Yellow and Crimson Alizarin.
