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!)

I haven’t added any new color combinations in quite a while, but I’m planning to start again! I’ve had a tube of Pthalo Blue for ages that I haven’t used-I admit that I’ve been afraid of Pthalo Blue because it seems so strong. I found, though, that it is a beautiful blue- and mixed with Cadmium Yellow- makes a vibrant green. I did the following three paintings with these colors-
Pthalo Blue
Cadmium Yellow
A very small amount of Alizarin Crimson
Titanium White

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
