Flower Painting Challenge - Can you mix these intense pinks? - Live Oil Painting demonstration

For today's Friday live I'm going to be painting this beautiful Boscobel rose.

This will be an alla prima painting, most likely more of a sketch today, and I'm going to focus particularly on those beautiful pinks, and trying to create the form of the flower - whilst ignoring all those complicated petals as much as possible.

Materials
---------------

Surface: 7 × 5 inch Ampersand Gessobord Panel

Medium: Linseed oil and a little solvent

Paints:

Lead white (titanium will work, but I think the goopyness of Rublev lead white is going to lend itself REALLY well to these flowers)
Cad yellow
Quinacridone Rose
Transparent red oxide
Green Gold
Raw umber
Ivory black
Phthalo green

Tools: ChromaMagic and the Paul Centore Munsell value scale.

-----------------------------HELPFUL LINKS-----------------------------

The app I use to investigate the colour is called ChromaMagic. You can find it on the Apple and Google Play stores, and there is also a Windows version. It's very inexpensive and extremely useful! If you struggle at all with judging values and colours, or with mixing, this is a great tool to help you calibrate your estimates by giving you immediate feedback on how close your guesses come.

You can get the Munsell value scale - which allows you to translate values from the app directly to your painting - from Paul Centore on Ebay here, also very inexpensive: https://www.ebay.com/itm/223003792036
