It’s raining out today, but I’ve been in something of a painting funk and really wanted to break out of it today. I pulled out some spring photos that I took at Lasdon Arboretum and painted this one of the azeleas near the potting shed. It cheered me right up to paint spring colors! I set out way more colors than my usual limited palette and dipped into just about everything, though I could have easily painted this with just a few colors. It was that kind of day!
Titanium White
Naples Yellow
Cadmium Yellow Primrose
Cadmium Yellow Medium
Pyrrole Red
Cadmium Red Light
Alizarin Crimson
Quinacridone Magenta
Transparent Red Oxide
Chromium Oxide Green
Cerulean Blue Chromium Hue
Phthalo Blue
Ultramarine Blue
I’m sure I must be forgetting something!
