For those working in this type of training protocol, where a monochromatic cast painting is slated, ivory black and white can in fact produce such an icy cold blue that you will be unhappy with the result if you do not add something like raw umber to warm it a bit. Otherwise it will appear that you submitted an entry in the St. Paul Winter Carnival's ice sculpture contest.
This tip was serendipitously and generously passed on to me, the advice of yet another (absent by then, on to bigger and better things) student, and it "saved" the piece I was working on. If you have a painting secret, give it away -- it will come back to you many times magnified.
