I set up the palette first
by premixing the colors shown
below and
placing them between the
above base colors
following my usual placement.
Ochre ( yellow and reddish purple)
A beautiful Red (orange / Aliz)
Purple (Alizarin / Ultramarine)
Green ultra blue / yellow
for a regular green also
I always make a light yellow green
Olive green Black/yellow
Grey (black / white ) a middle value
The colors from this palette
are beautiful. The neutral color
range is particularly harmonious
and the bright, warm and cool
colors are really lovely.
I will show the color chart in
my next post.

Such a happy bouquet on a so grey and snowy day in Montreal!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie for the information about this palette!
Snowy for you and sunshine for me. Your version of Sargents painting
Delete, in watercolor no less - is quite wonderful. I especially love the way you did her hair.
I love anemones,flowers touching for me. Your painting is so alive, and well communicates special beauty of these natural creatures, joyful and colorful.
ReplyDeleteYou paint them beautifully, dear Rita. You inspire me
Deletewith your flowing watercolor. The confident brush.
Thanks for the visit.
I love the vibrant colors! I am
ReplyDeleteInterested too in the palette as I've been shy about black! Great movement throughout the composition.
I hear lots of people are shy about black. I have a pile of middle value gray to which I can add any of the mixed greens and create atmospheric distance instantly. It is a convenience color. Quickly neutralize any mixture that needs to move back. Try it. I use Cassel Earth by La Franc. Beautiful mellow black.
DeleteAnn, I loved your simple shapes and color in your new post. Abstracting the buildings really worked.
That's an interesting palette. (You know I love talking palettes!) Is the ultra a red ultra or a green ultra?
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bouquet too-very loose and lively!
Hi Libby - regular Ultramarine blue. No red or green shade just good old reliable and beautiful UB!
DeleteThis is an excellent palette. The only thing not possible to make are the turquoise colors but that will be next months focus with a different limited palette.
I forgot to say too that the greens look nice and clear:)
ReplyDeleteMixed greens harmonize much better than a tube green. More fun to make too.
DeleteThat really is gorgeous and I am particularly drawn to the colors in the upper right corner. The flowers are so perfectly painted! I looked up Ned Jacobs, his art is beautiful. I absolutely love his artist statement! The part about how he doesn't concern himself with style etc, only painting what he loves is very inspiring, as you are my friend.
ReplyDeleteI first saw Ned's work in the early 80's in a museum. He had returned from painting in Africa. Powerful paintings. He captured the bright light so well. When I moved to Denver a year later I took a class from him at the Art Students League. He is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteLove the composition! I like the white of the vase compared to the colors of the flowers! Beautiful, Julie!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kaethe That is the new vase I was given at Christmas so still learning it. Good luck with your beautiful interior painting being accepted into the show. Trust me...It is a winner!
Deletewhat lovely, lovely flowers!!!!
ReplyDeleteAre they bright enough for you, Myra? Sure looks like we were in the same mood when we posted. Love how you abstracted yours.
DeleteLovely Jubly! What a statement of intent: Summer here we come!
ReplyDeleteI've noted the palette ... when I get beyond the sand and dust of the Sahara and Afghanistan I might try a little of these.
If you turn these out daily I will never stop smiling. Happy colours?
Happy indeed. Thanks for the nice comment, John.
DeleteHope you take lots of pics on your travels. Rather you than me an that loooong flight.
Your portraits have a lot of emotional power. You appear to have found your muse.
Love a limited palette. I never added Cad orange to my repertoire, always mixed orange from Cad YM and Cad Red Med--just a hair. After the crows, this must have been a picnic. I sure would like to go on one day sooner than that's going tto happen. Damn that Groundhog! Thanks for the cheer-up. There are flowers in our futures.
ReplyDeleteThe cad Orange is a great choice. I use Windsor orange which is almost a red and yellow it down to a traditional cad orange and cad yellow deep. It is amazing mixed with the Alizarin.
DeleteI do not use cads anymore so my replacement cad yellow light is either permanent or Hansa.
I really like the ponytail drawing you did and the interior is almost a drawing in paint. So active. Roth's Roost - great name!
This is a gorgeous display, so cheery and beautiful! Thank you for sharing the colors you used!
ReplyDeleteHi Celia - thanks for liking them they are so different from your beautiful African violets. I love to go back and forth between soft and bright and I see you do too.
ReplyDeleteVersatile duo!!
I love how vibrant you kept the colors! Very nice!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan. It was a demo for the group I belong to so the colors were nice for me after the black of the crows.
DeleteJulie, I am so drawn to the flowers! Wonder why:) It is a beautiful palette and painting. Something worth trying. Do you not use cads for environmental reasons? Do you like the Hansa yellows?
ReplyDeleteI do like the Hansa yellow. The medium is really convenient. I also like the permanent yellows range. After wearing the patch and for the first time really understanding how anything can travel through our skin, I decided to take the cads off my palette. I really missed them at first, but no longer.They say it is only if you ingest them. Huh - I just don't believe it.
DeleteLike your tree and love the color of your sky.
Just looking at your painting shows the beautiful colors. Maybe I'll do a palette of colors from this list. I did all the colors from Richard Schmid's book. Oh yes, love the painting.
ReplyDeleteYou really did all the Schmid charts ? Wow - I am impressed.
DeleteLooking forward to your next painting. You reallay got on a roll with the challenge and produced some wonderful pieces.
The white of the jar balances the vibrancy of the colors around very well, loved it!
ReplyDeleteI agree. It needed the white base under the blue,
DeleteColor harmony is something you perfected. When I look at your last post with the three trees, I see perfect harmony.
Thanks for visiting, Padmaja
The fracturing has made this piece just so soft looking...a perfect sense for my own impressions of what flowers lend to a home. So very beautiful, Julie!
