I want to start a fresh approach to this blog by using a weekly palette theme. Yesterday on Instagram I posted this five color watercolor palette. That’s the palette used here, with all five colors being used (viridian + burnt sienna made some of the darker browns). Over the next few days I’ll try painting a variety of subjects with these.
The goal with this approach is to grow by finding and overcoming challenges. Also, it’ll be a motivation to get out some less used paints. If you guys have any suggestions, maybe in another medium as well, let me know.

Excellent. Looks like a photograph
Thanks, I’m glad the work put into the details paid off. 🙂

It definitely was. I don’t remember exactly where the photo was from, but there’s several canyons my train passes through whenever I go to visit family. 🙂
Beautiful painting. I dont think it looks like a photo, to me it has a strong style to it. Reminds me of the Japanese woods block paintings. Beautiful harmonious palette also.
Thanks 🙂
Although I wasn’t thinking of them, I do really like wood block paintings and see the similarities now. Maybe someday I’ll remake this as one…
