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
