Un trabajo excelente, Brad, y me gusta la calidez y el intimismo que transmite.<br /> En cuanto a las tartas, creo que en España la de calabaza no es tan conocida como la de manzana. Aquí, en estas fechas, abundan las castañas y sus múltiples preparaciones. No estaría mal una receta de tu tarta de calabaza, tengo tres muy hermosas esperando ser cocinadas....Margaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211416690077469334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761014861552804671.post-72273670143960769162011-11-29T22:01:08.496-06:002011-11-29T22:01:08.496-06:00Thank you!

I appreciate that.
To answer...Thank you Katherine! I appreciate that.<br /><br />To answer your question... This is what I have been experimenting with and learning from my acrylic paintings. Yes, the colors are rich because white was not added. White tends to make colors look chalky and desaturated. I have been finding it best to mix color with color and avoid white if possible. I should also note that some colors that come from the tube already have white mixed in and the white makes them more opaque. In some instances white is needed to achieve a color like a skin tone or a bright blue sky. In general, I just try not to make a habit of using it if its not necessary.<br /><br />I love that you added ice cream to the pie! Of course I cant have apple pie without ice cream!
