This was a demo using
Thalo instead of Ultramarine
Magenta instead of Perm Alizarin.
First, I paint right on the front of
the clear glass jug
with my Phthalo blue and then a
bit of the yellow to make it greener
for another layer in the middle.
Why?...because I didn't
have anything in the right color
large enough to hold the peonies.

A quick block-in
The black canvas
makes it easy to get the value pattern
This is still based on a
limited palette but replacing the
Ultra blue and Alizarin.
REASON?
Sometimes, what you need/want to paint
cannot be managed with just one
limited palette.
If you are painting near the coast for
example, the aqua of the water
will need a green/blue.
Lively spring greens have a freshness
which the red in the Ultramarine blue
neutralizes too much.
To make clear purples the Phthalo needs
a cooler red than even the Alizarin
so a substitute
with the Magenta works perfectly.
Here is the limited palette
for this painting.
Cad Yellow light
Orange
Magenta
Phthalo Blue
Black
Titanium White
