Here is yet another palette cleanser, meant to clean my palette while creating a wild new abstract painting. I started doing this style in 2020 when I was experimenting with a lot of different paints and changing my palette around frequently. Orange was the biggest addition to my palette, I never had an orange paint and now I regularly use several. For example, isoindolone yellow (PY110) is a orange-yellow colour similar to that of a school bus or yellow lines on the road. Its very useful on location for mixing olive greens, toasty yellows, bright orange-yellow, and representing the setting sun. If I could reach back in time and give young PJD some paints, it would be isoindo yellow and perylene green (PBk31), not to mention perylene maroon (PR179) and lamp black (PBk6). And stop using alizarin crimson (PR83) it fades like crazy! Anyways, lessons were learned with time and careful study. In the painting I was experimenting with a lateral design where most of the elements are going side to side, like clouds in a psychedelic sky.
