Staff tip

Put violet in your shadows instead of black. Start the shadow with Flinders Blue Violet, then soften it with a gentle pass of whatever colour the object is, and shadows stay lively rather than dull. The same trick suits skin, leaves and white cloth.

Sweep the side of the stick across the top of a sky for the darkest tone, easing to lighter strokes near the horizon. Colour selections may vary, as Art Spectrum points out. Made by hand in Australia by a family owned Melbourne company founded in the early 1960s, these are worth a look. Shop with us, an authorised stockist shipping Australia wide, or see them in person at Moorabbin, our Melbourne store.
