We have been experiencing the most incredible skies early in the morning lately. Fortunately I get up early enough to see them. For this watercolor I did an underpainting with raw sienna and then used brown madder and French ultramarine mixed with a little payne's grey. I really like the effect the limited palette provides. Size: 12" x 8".
What gorgeous colours Jean. Amazing what a limited palette can produce!
ReplyDeleteThe warm orange you achieved with sienna and brown madder is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI also admire the naturalism of your tree line, and that wonderful pine!
Jean, nice painting! I think we were on the same wavelength because it appears we used a similar color scheme.
ReplyDeleteThe orange you acquired with the mixing of sienna is glowing and making the composition title full justice Jean! I also loved your free brush strokes on the lovely pine.
ReplyDeleteYes, the limited palette is perfect and so is the early morning light and atmosphere in your lovely painting Jean.
ReplyDeleteFantastic sky and limited palette's wonders
ReplyDeleteNice color work
ReplyDeleteLovely skies, Jean. I love the way some colours form pigmentation when they mix! And the trees are somewhat Christmassy!
