Limited Palette Landscape

Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Yellow Light, Black & White

Things to think about, look for and use:

• Colour mixing: mix a lot, vary greens, use underpainting, and try not to use paint straight out of tube.

• Texture: use large brush strokes first and smaller ones later. Use palette knives, rags and other tools to make varied textures.
