Foliage

“Foliage”, 6″ X 8″, Gouache on Saunders Waterford CP(NOT)…….done from a reference photo.

 I have limited my colours on my palette to three plus white for all my sketches/paintings since last 5 years(almost form the start), as it happened to be an important advise from most of the artists who inspired. This makes us to work on the values first, extract more from the existing combination and a sense of harmony as a whole. The three colours would be a cool or warm version of each primary. My combination need not be a success every time but I learn a lot working like this.

Lemon yellow, Alizarin Crimson and Ultramarine blue with Permanent white for this little study.
