Snow was forecast overnight here, but didn't happen. I was so disappointed. If it's going to be cold, you may as well have snow!
I painted this scene along with a video by Anne Kullaf. I enjoyed it.
She used a triad-- ultramarine, carmine and raw sienna. I found I needed to add cerulean to separate the sky from the trees.
I feel some of my shapes are too clunky or solid and hard edged. I'll try to be mindful of that next time I paint this.

Love it !!
Funny that you use these colours, ... as I always had the idea that sienna was more a reddisch one.
My palette is the last couple of years Ultramarine blue, Burnt Sienna and Naples Yellow pale.
What would happen if I would swap Naples Yellow for Raw Sienna, ...?
It would be a weird palette for once I would say.
Nice challenge, thank you !
I am enjoying these limited palette challenges.
I like Naples yellow, but I think raw sienna may be a bit stronger.
Look forward to finding out what you think!
Its very nice
Thank you!
It's a beautiful snow scene. I like the upward movement of the trees. Nothing clunky or hard edged about it to my eyes.
Got a go yesterday, ... see my blog,
"1994, 1889 and 1894"
It's a bit weird I always thought sienna was somewhat reddish but now, ....
It's much lower in key tho the whole palette, ... a bit like the Kevin McPherson's one.
How and why did you came to this palette?
I have strongly the idea that every area has it's own "limited" palette, ...
For example, Germany has a much more blue-ish one and Ireland a brownish, England therefor is much more greenisch and The Netherlands somewhat burnt umber one, ... just an idea tho.
Thanks for getting to get me into this, ...
