Composing and Drawing Tip of the Week.

October 11, 2014
 

What palette of colors would you select to do a painting from this photo?




What about a limited palette of these colors?
Complements yellow + purple with neutrals black and white

Tip:  A complementary set of colors used with the neutrals, black and white, offers a harmonious alternative for interpreting fall colors.  The key is to use the mixtures without either of the original colors being visible in its pure form.  
The tube colors I'm using are Utrecht's Hansa Yellow Light and Gamblin's Dioxozine Purple with Ivory Black and Titanium White.  Here are some of the options I discovered.


You will find from this renegade limited palette all you need to interpret the above photo.  

Happy painting,
