"The Road"5.5 x 5.5 inches, Oil on Board, Palette Knife Painting
Available on Ebay.
When I finished painting "The Farm House" I still had a lot of paint left on my palette and some time left in the day so I painted this one. It has the same color scheme as the farm house but if you were to see the real thing you'd see so many colors. I use a limited palette when I paint - for this one I used Prussian Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Yellow Pale, Burnt Sienna and Titanium White. I tone the canvas - this one is a gessoed board - with a mixture of burnt sienna and Cadmium Red. I should grow and try other colors and do buy a tube of this or that now and then but seem to revert back to the limited palette colors.
How about you - do you use a lot of different tubes of colors? What's your favorite color? Do you have a favorite mixture? I like Burnt Sienna with Prussian - it makes a really deep dark and when mixed with white - it makes a nice gray.
Happy Painting!!
