BENEFITS OF USING A LIMITED PALETTE.



This painting was done with a limited palette, using venetian red, gold ochre, cerulean blue hue, white and black.  It's a great way to change up your usual procedure.  Using only the three primaries plus white and black allows me to focus on the shapes, values and color temperatures to suggest an effect of light and atmosphere.
