Three colors are fun to work with. Amazing.
Thank you Susan. 3 colours also mean less ‘mud’.
I really love the yellows and oranges against the blue of the sky – it’s a beautiful combination! Can I ask, how does the blue and red underpainting effect the final outcome? Is it just a way of paying things out for later, or does it affect the final colour mix and feel of the painting? Many thanks!
Sorry – that should read “laying things out” auto correct messed it up!
Thank you Jo. This is ‘wet on wet’. The more the final layer is manipulated or blended the more the wet under layers will interact. Remember I don’t use medium, just solvent so the longer the under layers are left the more solvent evaporates the less these layers interact.
Another excellent demonstration. Both educational and enjoyable
Thank you Neil.
Such a range from so limited a pallette. Truly, less is more 😊
Absolutely 🙂 Thank you Rosie.
Fantastic (again) Liam 😳

Worthy of poetry, thank you for sharing your mind’s eye and talent with us.
