Shades of Green
http://dieroteiris.twoday.net/stories/shades-of-green/
Im a bit particular when it comes to green colours. <br />
There are a lot of greens in my watercolour boxes - but they are all ugly. Well there is one shade of olive green ... but the rest is ugly!<br />
<br />
So I went to my secret hoard where - apart from more ugly greens - there are three boxes of really great looking green pigments (with poisonous sounding names like cobalt green, <strike>moss green</strike> or cadmium green) and a lifelong supply of shells from the Adriatic.<br />
<br />
<br />
Behold! my! first! watercolours!<br />
<br />

<br />
And tell you what?<br />
Its quite easy! <br />
And its more fun to paint from shells than from tins!<br />

<br />
Aparently in ye olden days you could buy watercolours in shells. <br />
It was the industrial revolution that put a stop to this. <br />
What a shame.<br />
