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!)

I somehow acquired a tube of Sap Green and decided to try it this week.  I normally mix my greens, but I did enjoy this Sap Green experiment.  Sap Green is a rather dull green, but it can be brightened by adding Cadmium Yellow or darkened and cooled by adding Ultramarine Blue-or grayed and darkened by adding by dark mixture(I keep a dark mixture of Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Yellow and Alizarin Crimson mixed in a fillable tube).
