Excellent work and demonstration of a limited palette.

Superb. Particularly like the hint of warmth in the sky.

Wonderful atmospheric scene Dermot, your limited palette certainly worked a treat.

It's beautiful Dermot, I love using Payne's grey, ultramarine and Raw sienna, three of my favourite colours, this painting just shows what you can achieve with such a limited pallette, brilliant as always 👍👍👍

Marvellous painting Dermot, those sparkling highlights and the overall glow of warmth are just magical.

Wow Dermot. This is so appealing. Just love the subtle, delicate washes and the way you have placed those figures with the little dog in the background.

A stunning lesson that less can be more.

Great shallow water effect in the foreground Dermot and a nice pale sunshine scene.

I was always told to avoid Payne’s Grey like the plague, but think I might dig some out and try it! This is terrific use of such a limited palette Dermot.

You're the master of these watercolours Dermot, superb as always.

Limited palettes are a joy to use in this watercolour I used Payne’s grey , Ultramarine and Raw sienna it’s amazing what subtleties one can get with a few colours used creatively
