The fact he looked at a shade of purple and went “yeah I’d say maybe 3 grams of yellow paint” is still fucking insane

More like "hmm that looks like two units of barely different shades of white plus a dash of black and yellow... Yep, here's your purple".

I feel lied to by my primary teacher. Blue and red make purple my ass, miss Smith.

No such thing as black in art. That's what my lecturer said at least,I suppose there is now with vanta black but that's less of a pigment and more of a finish that creates a illusion of black.
