The library had nothing on Johns, but there was a great deal on line. Also many painting done "in the style of" by other people which was a bit confusing. Being able to upload a few and look at them closely was a great help. Oddly enough the one I chose to use for a colour guide didn't have that much white in it at all.
Using really thick acrylic for this exercise was a delight. Some of the time I waited for the paint to dry before putting another colour close by, but then I got braver and liked the slight smearing effect. In the end the colours didn't reflect the original very much, but I enjoyed doing it anyway.
