I don't have a cat so can I mix my wash in a 50-lb. dog food bag?

I wonder what color she used for the sand. Did anyone hear her say? I also wish I saw the part where she painted the shadow.

For the sand color I used quinacridone red, aureolin yellow and a touch of cobalt blue. For the shadows under the bird, I wanted a darker value, so I used a darker blue (ultramarine) with the same red and yellow, using more of the dark blue with them.

I use a lot of different brands. Cheap joe's has American Journey brand, which are professional quality at low prices. Winsor Newton are always good, too.
