Black Painting
Remembering a professor's advice that the way to make the most beautiful black was not with black pigment but with a mix of Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Umber I used the procedure that began with Broken Color working all over the canvas mixing each brush full of these two colors as I went and ending when a dense covering produced "the most beautiful black."
