Oil Studies, Mass Tone
Mass Tone is the name for the color of a pigment seen in its dense form unmixed with another color. Purchasing many different pigments, and a glass plate and muller in order to grind each one separately into linseed oil, I made oil paint applying it with a small brush to small canvases, then larger ones. In doing this I found a beauty in the colors beyond what I had ever seen in tube paint.
