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 paintings upon that color palette.  If you have any suggestions of color palettes I should try, please email me at nvenhuizen@gmail.com. ( I’d love to have a comment section on this page, but I haven’t yet figured out how to do that!)

There are a surprising amount of green and brown landscapes, since there are so many manmade structures that are primarily brown-and-of course- the natural world is full of various shades of green! 

I mixed all of my greens and browns for these paintings, so the pigments I used for these paintings are

Cadmium Yellow

Cadmium Red

Ultramarine Blue

Cerulean Blue

White

Laurentzin Gardens Gazebo

Green Pastures

Old Orchard Bridge
