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. 

For these three paintings, I used predominately Dioxazine Purple, Cerulean Blue and Yellow Ochre.  I love the way that Cerulean Blue and Dioxazine Purple look together-especially in a lovely cloudy sky!  The purple is wonderful for showing trees at a distance.  I did use a couple additional colors.  I mixed Yellow Ochre with Ultramarine Blue along with a little of the purple for the darks of the trees.  Where I wanted a brighter, truer green  I mixed the Cerulean Blue with Cadmium Yellow.  

Therefore, the colors used in these three paintings are-

Dioxazine Purple

Yellow Ochre

Cerulean Blue

Ultramarine Blue

Cadmium Yellow

Titanium White
