The challenge looked pretty interesting this week, and I liked the reference photo provided. The four tubes of paint we were allowed: Phthalo Blue, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Cadmium Red and White.

I liked some of the colors you can get with just these few choices, but the browns were tough to get right.

That would be Johannes Vloothuis, of course, and yes, I'm signed up for another series of paint along Saturday afternoons.Today was the first, and it was a tricky painting. I really don't have good luck with rocks, and I've gotten very frustrated with waterfalls in the past. AND we only had four colors (plus white): cad red, lamp black, viridian, white, and yellow ochre pale. That's it! It's not nearly as interesting as his painting, but it is always good to take a class, and watch and listen to a master.

Oh, and lest you worry, he long ago gave us permission to sell our paint-along paintings. Who knows, you may see more than one on DPW tomorrow.
