Wow!
Dear Carlos,
This is an accomplishment! Your limited palette is very effective and versitile; both earthy enough for a flesh palette, and chromatic enough for everything else. Those are great mixed blacks and neutrals too. This painting is as elegant and understated as the palette itself; perfect cohesion!

Thanks Sharon---always appreciate your words. Thanks for taking the time to view.
Garth--I find this combination of colours quite effective. The Prussian blue when mixed with earth colours produces a greenish quality to the resulting colour that can be used for a great deal of things. Burnt sienna and prussian blue, for example, produces a luscious, deep green perfect for evergreens (for landscape purposes)...and mixed with white, it serves as my neutralizing colour for flesh tones, that cool needed to balance off the warm. The Pozzuoli earth has its counterparts in other brands, I suppose, although with some subtle differences; and the yellow ochre is pretty much a must in any earth palette.
Thanks for your comments.

Carlos, this is so impressive, both in terms of what you have achieved with these colors but in beauty of composition as well. I like this painting very much and you're convincing me to experiment with my collection of red earth colors. Very beautiful work!

Apart from the technical mastery...there is so much soul!

Carlos, this is stunning and it has a different quality than your other work: unstudied, yet well-thought out, more of a naturally-ocurring moment that you happen to observe and record. The emotion in this piece is beautifully expressed. The fact that you've done it all with a limited palette almost seems beside the point. Maybe it was, once you got started! I know that's how it is when I'm painting.

Oh yes Carlos, at least I do relate...!
This work is full of feeling and intimacy.
She inhabits the canvas with a certain shyness. I like that.

Carlos that is beautiful. I am currently using a Yellow Ochre, Venetian Red, Ivory black and Permalba white pallet. I have been very surprised at what can be achieved with those colors. Since I have enjoyed using this pallet so much when I have done landscapes or flowers I still use it as my base and just add the higher chroma colors when needed.
