In my blog, I am trying various color schemes to expand my painting vocabulary.  To that end, I am selecting a different color scheme/limited palette each week and basing three little 8 x 6   or 10 x 8 paintings upon that color palette.  If you have any suggestions of color palettes I should try, please email me at nanvenhuizen@gmail.com. ( I’d love to have a comment section on this page, but I haven’t yet figured out how to do that!)

Blue and purple are a moody combination! These three paintings were done primarily with Titanium White,  Dioxazine Purple,  Ultramarine Blue with a small amount of Cerulean Blue and Yellow Ochre.

These three paintings were completed with basically three colors-Alizarin Crimson, Titanium White and Ivory Black.  I used a small amount of Cadmium Orange to brighten the Crimson and for the grass.  I like color-so this was a pretty limiting palette-yet very effective to express the feeling of a gray winter day!!
