I really enjoyed what I learned .<br />I loved creating these paintings and I was forced to really think about color and value in the very beginning of each painting.<br />I wasn't sure where it would take me as sometimes I act instinctively when working on a painting . I think this is a very worthy practice to try and I learned a lot .<br />Thanks for each and every suggestion.<br />SandiSandi Graham Pastelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015873565452711457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14672405.post-15186106626798879622014-11-07T16:40:51.463-05:002014-11-07T16:40:51.463-05:00Interesting observations about the blue earth set....Interesting observations about the blue earth set.

It continues to boggle me but of course it's real, dawn does all these strange color shifts to the sky just as blue monochromes are that true for twilight or pre-dawn blue.<br /><br />This article literally could not come on a better day. I just got my Blue Earth 21 color Land & Sea set. It is a landscape set. I've seen someone do a gorgeous landscape with it. There are seven evenly graded values and three colors in each, mostly leaning cool with some warms up in the lighter end of the range. Warm lights, cool darks.<br /><br />It's a well designed little palette that just isn't mine. I love the strong saturated colors and tints and shades around the spectrum. This is muted - and the middle values where there's usually the most color are particularly muted. <br /><br />It's a challenging palette. I can punch up color by juxtaposition. At worst I can get out the little box I first bought, six color sampler and some important secondaries, to have bright hue accents. The challenge for me is not opening that other box. Using this palette as is for a limited palette and doing a good landscape with this strange, misty looking collection.<br /><br />I think I might get my best results doing a skyscape with lots of clouds or a moody misty landscape... thinking about different subjects. Maybe the best place to go is to skim my sketchbooks for old thumbnails and plein air sketches or phone photos, something where value masses are the main thing and details secondary. Thank you for helping me sort out what to do with it!robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14672405.post-3146057673854366482014-11-07T14:18:44.491-05:002014-11-07T14:18:44.491-05:00Love your colours palette for this one.
