[QUOTE=Mikael MelbyeThe thing about two colors - could you elaborate a little on what you mean. Mikael[/QUOTE]

Dear Mikael,
I found a good illustration on the use of two colors in this painting by Corot.
His "Bridge at Narni" shows that he used Ochers and Blue for most of the picture. The greens in the trees are probably also made from those basic pigments.

Note also the great importance of the values.

The other painting is from Rome. How would that motive look now ?

Best Allan
