I especially like your point of view with the canopy driving the perspective and your use of white and those clear washes - so fresh! Thanks for your comment on my sketch and I learn much by looking at your work. We did chat a bit before the big downpour lamenting about all the unemployed architects...<br />Greg OaksenGreg Oaksenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04367997277921533829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95539313071875438.post-28049816990655728242010-09-23T09:27:02.586-07:002010-09-23T09:27:02.586-07:00My friend uses these as the Velaquez pallette...I ...My friend uses these as the Velaquez pallette...I think it may be from Jan Hart's version of Velaquez...it is Quin gold, Quin Sienna, and Ultramarine Blue. I bought Jan Hart's watercolor book and the additional colors she seems to use quite frequently is cobalt blue, rose madder genuine$$$, aureolin yellow. The rose madder genuine is really pricey and a subtle reddish color but not real pure red...Daniel Smith has many of these in the stick form. What I was told is that the stick form is the best value. It is equivalent to about 1.5 to 2x as much as a normal Dan Smith tube. So ultimately cheaper. The rose Madder genuine was about 20.00 for the tube. I was surprised at how expensive. If you want to test it out before you buy. Next time I see you I can give you a little dab of each then you can decide if you want to buy them.Gail Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793884622713197502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95539313071875438.post-48665522864529530082010-09-22T21:44:47.230-07:002010-09-22T21:44:47.230-07:00As for me, I love the vitality and ditto on the co...As for me, I love the vitality and ditto on the colors and cohesion. <br /><br />Gail, can you remind me again of the Velazquez palette? handprint.com lists different ones because I know you included a quinochrodine - was it Quin gold, burnt sienna and ultramarine blue. <br /><br />On the Bainbridge trip you also mentioned at least 3 additional colors including rose madder red. What were the other two?<br /><br />I want to try limiting my palette a bit.Jane Dillon Wingfield: janewingfield@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887177898594761879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95539313071875438.post-66791565858717116392010-09-21T09:12:41.646-07:002010-09-21T09:12:41.646-07:00Ahhhh....your colors are gorgeous!Ahhhh....your colors are gorgeous!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348067794672124098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95539313071875438.post-42463393108425263742010-09-20T12:23:38.899-07:002010-09-20T12:23:38.899-07:00Gail,
