Hello Nap....thank you for your comments... as always I paint oils over acrylic undercoat.....the reds where a base of rosso red...shade with burnt umber added and then hilighted with cad bright red....the yellow was a mix of chrome yellow as a base....then shaded with gold orche and burnt sienna ....hilighted with chrome yellow and white.....play around with the mixes until you arrive at one which is to your personal taste...all the best Mike
