Limited Palette Verses Full Color Palette

This summer while teaching a workshop, I made a demonstration Painting. I divided the board in fourths making four small paintings.

One painting is a sunny afternoon light key, the one to the right is a cloudy day morning. It was interesting to see how many different colors I was able to come up with in the limited primary palette.

The two painting on the bottom are the same two different scenes using a full palette. This study was painted with a painting knife.


Four Harbor scenes 11x14 oil on masonite.
