Crimson Red.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Crimson Red....

Just a little lighter than bordeau,
fresher to watch at
It brings some life into the painting,
but you must constantly mix with zinc-white,
not too much, because what I remember
is,
that zinc-white contains poison,
although very expensive product from the Vincent
and the Rembrandt brand,
some colours still contain poison,
these are always colourfast,
in the full sun or in the shade on the counter,
the product: my aquarel (watercolour)is colourfast.
