Avoid Painting a Green Sky from Mixing Yellows and Blues We've got ourselves a dilemma. We've captured a wonderful beautiful
sunset with our camera and we want to paint it. It's an image of warm
Yellows on the horizon lighting up the clouds as the sun
sets in the distance. We know that blue is needed as a surrounding sky
color. But if we get any where near that Yellow pigment with blue paint
our brush, a greenish hue will come forth and then aaagghh! We got
ourselves an upside down
landscape
painting ![]() From the artist palette there is hope and there is a way to avoid this
painting problem. We can use Red as a buffer to stop the interaction with
the Yellow and Blue. In particular there's an oil paint color used
to correct this dilemma by an untold number of artist called Alizarin
Crimson
