Three artist friends and I are getting together weekly to study color. We are working on the exercises that Nita Leland has in her book, “Exploring Color”. The first exercise is to paint the 4 seasons. This is a way to document where you are with color at this point; the pigments you use, the mixes and combinations. This is what I came up with so far. This isn’t a very good painting but I was just trying to get my usual colors on the page. Some things that I have noticed is that I usually paint with a light value to start with and I use two tube greens, Veridian and Chrome Oxide. That is a big no-no in watercolor painting! More to come.
