The Only Six Colors You Really Need!
July 10, 2019In my blog, I am trying various color schemes to expand my painting vocabulary.

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!)
