Oil study, limited palette
Hello to everyone.
I experimented with a limited palette myself, having been inspired by Aaron Coberly

Carlos, this study turned out beautifully! What power a few colors can project.

Carlos,
This is great! I would'n call it an oil study, but a finished portrait. Beautiful !
Did you liked this experience, or did you feel limited ?

I've been thinking about working with a limited palette ever since I joined this site but this painting has convinced me that it's a must.
Brilliant painting Carlos.
Enjoyed looking through your website. Maybe you could start a thread on what it's like to work in a museum in front of a Master work? Must be exciting.

Carlos, this is incredible. I can't believe you got such a lively looking work with only three colors?! I have to agree Marina, this might have started out as a study, but sure looks like a successful finished painting.

That's very nice, Carlos. Not only do you get such a range of colour with the three you chose (how did you get orange with yellow ochre and prussian blue?), but you get such a feeling of solid form with such thin paint. Great work!

... terra di pozzuoli ... that's the orange, isn't it? I thought at first it was the name of the prussian blue you used, but looking again, I think it just be orange (or red). (My palette is pretty limited - not in number but in type - for me, using a cadmium seems like an exotic adventure into the unknown! So I am a bit ignorant.)
So it's 3 colours and white you used, is it?

Thank you all for the responses.
Mischa...this is like Zen...less is more (?) In the drawing realm, I have seen wonderful things done with a few abbreviated strokes. Jusep de Ribera was a master at that, so I

Carlos,
The composition is beautiful and subtle as well.
Elegant, beautifully painted and understated.
