Palette Cleanser #21

After knocking out two more metro stations my palette was in need of some cleaning. This painting used many of the warmer colours including yellows, oranges, browns, and phthalo blue (red shade). You can tell Venetian red from the granular (sandy) looking pinkish brown. I used to have potters pink, a very similar colour to Venetian red, but potter's pink did not mix well with other colours and dried hard on the palette. So Venetian red is better in those respects, although it does tend to produce muddy mixes. I like it for cloud shadows with indothrene blue, but I feel like Venetian red is slightly redundant with iron oxide red brown. I like all the colours though, often I pick one and use it throughout the whole painting of possible just to see what it can do. 9 x 12" watercolour paper, watercolour, July 2020
