Using a limited palette, Rocks and Surf at Porthgwarra, Cornwall

  detail of Rocks at Porthgwarra


This painting was done with just the colours above - blue, red, yellow, black, brown plus white.

The whole painting  done on A4 cartridge paper but with white paper round, so a bit smaller:


and a further detail


Sometimes a limited palette is a really good exercise to make you work to achieve the colours you want :>)
