My Last Limited Pallette Painting




"Lake Monticello Beach"
9" x 12"
Oil on Canvas

For my final painting in this months ProDJ Program with Kevin M., I've chosen to use the limited pallette of Cadmium Yellow Light, Quinacridone Red, Dioxazine Purple, and Titanium White. I had a difficult time getting over not having a true blue to paint the sky and water reflections with, but when looking at the final result, I like the way it both looks and feels.

It's been interesting being so limited to the colors I could use, frustrating at times too, but then being pleased each time with the way the final paintings turned out. I'm guessing that's why Kevin is the "Master" artist--he knew these particular color combinations would bring about pleasing finished paintings!
