6x8
A tight little waterfall study for a class with SaltyWaterArt.
Class was canceled so I began looking into what colors to put in my travel palette for Scotland.
I am very undecided on the reds-- they're all so beautiful! Pyrrol scarlet and quinacridone red/coral especially!
Think I must have quinacridone pink.
I have been looking for a cool green and Hooker's, which I haven't had on my palette in a long time, is it.
Also got two new greens, DS green apatite and Schmincke shire green: both granulate and separate into their component colors--which i love...but there may not be room.
Yellow has become a crisis. Since I began painting I have relied on two yellows: aureolin, which I now find out is fugitive, and new gamboge, which is now a mixture rather than a single pigment (not ideal, but I'll probably stick with it). I never felt a need to deviate from those two.
Everyone seems to be using hansa now, but I'm not keen on it. Will probably go for the weaker, but soft Winsor yellow and the intense Maineri Blu transparent yellow.
And I must have quinacridone gold, Mars yellow (a to me slightly brighter ocher), and maybe Naples or Turner's yellow.
I welcome your thoughts on colors!
Lately I feel displeased with my cobalt, which is Winsor & Newton; it looks a little grayish to me. Which brand's cobalt blue do you like?
