What’s on my palette

Combinations of Indanthrene Blue, Alizarin Permanent, Indian Yellow, Courbet Green, and probably Raw Umber, tinting with Titanium White. The mixes seem to be going in a wintry direction. I’ve been applying these same colors with different ratio mixes and concentrations of saturation as I expand the Out Loud series.

I continue to explore making palettes from a limited number of colors. Here are some mixtures of  Indanthrene Blue, Cobalt Blue, and a mix of Indian Yellow+Alizarin Permanent. Using Unbleached Titanium pale to make some tints.
