Burnt Umber Best in Paints

The dark brown eyeshadow is burnt umber in a tube and the light brown eyeshadow is also white. Day 17 and I added more Cadmium Barium Yellow and Radiant Turquoise highlights on the roofs, some Cadmium Orange and Burnt Umber to start making the shingles and some Cobalt Blue and Burnt Umber outlines under all the eaves and along the shady sides of all building equipment, windows and doors. Four or five hours of work and the difference is almost invisible. :-) Glad I like it. Just a note. Burnt Umber is one of those colors that, when applied straight from the tube, dries to a matte, flat finish. That's one of the reasons I mixed it with Cobalt Blue. Another reason is that shadows often appear bluish or purple. Hmm purple word?
