After a few outdoor paintings my palette was a right mess! I like doing these ones because I use the colours near full strength and very bright. It is a good way to get to know the paint and discover new combinations like the different browns, reds, greens, and yellows seen in this painting. In the future I may pick out a few favorites and do a proper version on rag paper and a larger size.

This one is on the back of the previous one. Recently I made a birthday card and included a whole bunch of coloured balloons in the design, so this is a homage to balloons. The bright colours are offset by browns and blacks in the background. That lilac colour is the quinacridone purple (PV55) from schmincke- it is the most bluish one. I bought a PV55 from Daniel Smith but it is slightly more reddish. It is like the colour of wine almost.
