As far as limited palettes go I'm not into mixing a great deal and really follow the Charles Reid/Judi Whitton method of minimal mixing and mixing on the paper. I've tried other routes but this is the one I'm now firmly on. In addition there are such a range of wonderful colours available that restricting yourself in this way seems (to me at least) a bit `hairshirt'. Each to his own I say. I'll photograph the ones I did at Sorrento and see If I can risk posting one!Peter Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451951778074071828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891643331061427318.post-84129526089160826952010-05-17T08:52:48.064-07:002010-05-17T08:52:48.064-07:00I think you talked yourself into a lack of confide...I think you talked yourself into a lack of confidence - I'd probably have done the same. It's a pity you didn't post anything, maybe you can be tempted, because it's often the ones we're less than satisfied with that produce the most interesting comments from readers.<br /><br />One thing that a lot of painters do is to set themselves the task of making pictures with a limited palette to improve their colour mixing, in fact I know one artist who does a blind dip into his box of tubes and limits himself to the first three tubes that emerge. Whilst I've done a bit of limited palette work with oils I've never gone the whole hog with watercolours.<br /><br />Aren't airports a nightmare these days?<br /><br />Obviously a holiday steeped in incident.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350381570737387904noreply@blogger.com
