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!)

Since green is so ubiquitous in any spring or summer landscape,  having a clear idea of how to mix various types of greens is a subject worth exploring! 

In many cases, it is preferable to have a duller type of green-which can be easily achieved by mixing Cadmium Yellow with Black(Barn and John Deere Tractor)-or for a bit more brightness-Cadmium Yellow and Ultramarine blue(Grain Elevator by Railroad Tracks) or for a very bright green -PthaloBlue and Cadmium Yellow(Big Sioux River View).
