I used a pale yellow, brown, white, and blue. I mixed all of the non-white colors with white to get light shades. The ice-cream part of the painting is white with a touch of yellow. It is a little too creamy because I forgot that some of the top of the cone would get blended up. It takes almost no color paint with white to make a light color. I'd say a "drop", but oil paint is very thick.
The cone and the background were painted with the paint thinned with solvent since I don't have medium. I have a list of things I need to buy, but I have already gone past my original budget for the year so I hope I'll get some art sales soon!
I kept the paint on the ice-cream thicker. Not out-of-the-tube thick, but more like mayonnaise thick and I just kept adding it until it looked rich and delicious. The surface there is about 1mm higher than the rest of the painting. I wonder if that would qualify as impasto?
