'Sanctuary' - first color


Taking the underpainting from the previous post further...refined the drawing of the shapes and experimented with this uncommon limited palette: naples yellow, jaune brilliant, yellow ochre, orange ochre, mars violet, permanent madder, cobalt turquoise, cobalt blue and mineral violet....basically using the complementary pair...yellows and purples. I can mix wonderful soothing colors from this combination...the mood and light of this must be maintained by close values and subtle temperature changes within the shapes. Interesting!
