It's been awhile since I have posted recent works. These plein air works were all painted during the month of December and the last week of November. Terry and I went up to Moonstone Beach, Trinidad California and painted each day with several of are painter friends. The weather was perfect each and every day, with sun, warmth and little to no wind. Not a normal winter for us. I love the winter colors so it was great to be able to get out so much. The rains have at last been with us for the past couple of weeks. I have been asked about my palette so I will list my colors here, from Titanium White in the front and moving left around my palette. Cad Yellow Lemon, Cad. Yellow, Naples Yellow, Yellow ocher, Raw Sienna, Transparent Red Oxide, Cad Red Light, Alizarine Crimson, Cobalt Violet Light, Cerulean Blue, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine Blue and Kings Blue. I also sometimes use Viridian Green and Cad. Orange. Ultramarine Blue, Cerulean Blue, Cad Red and Yellow plus Naples Yellow, Yellow Ocher, Kings Blue, Transparent Red Oxide and White would be the pigments I use the most.

ReplyDeleteJim, do you use the same color palette for your watercolors as well? Or does the change in medium change the way you approach hue? Thanks!
