Gregory's ServerI packed a very limited color palette. Need to take a picture later. It's literally 3 blues, 2 earth tones, 1 green, 1 yellow, neon pink and titanium white. (Might have forgotten one or two, maybe.)
I did not pack burnt umber or coelin blue. The latter one had gone bad, unfortunately, the former one I think I forgot.
Might buy those two here. And probably more titanium white. I only packed a tiny tube that's already halfway done.

One painting session later I wish for burnt umber and coelin blue with renewed passion, and I hate everything my hands are creating at the moment. I'm a waking art block. So I bought burnt umber, cyan blue and titanium white. Continued with a restricted palette (just added neon pink and indian yellow). I'm so much happier with how these turned out, I mean, look at the blues! #landscapepainting #mastoArt #pleinair #postimpressionism Might fix the horizon on the smaller one. I didn't have the patience for that at the beach, it was a bit too sunny for my liking. Today was a rough day. Didn't arrive at a result I liked, partly because I painted with a brush that is too small. I need my 6 cm brush, even when I'm painting on just 20x30cm. Also I painted in full sun at noon with a sunburn, trying to huddle under a protective scarf. *sigh* I need to find a good spot to paint! I think what I'm trying to do here is recombining the different aspects of my work, the abstract, gestural, but also the neo-impressionist and surreal parts. I need to give me time to figure out the process that lets me arrive somewhere I like, and maybe I do have to work with photographic references again? I am really not cut out for staying in the sun for too long! I was courageous today and went to the beach again and painted. #mastoArt #traditionalArt #art #landscapepainting |
I indeed remembered the colors correctly. Here is every color I packed for this trip:
(Not pictured are my various thin pens. They are black, I haven't worked with them on paintings yet.) #limitedpalette
