A colour exercise by Joe Hargreaves

Wow, what colours! I might give this technique a go.

Divide a 1/4 sheet with 2 inch masking tape. peel the tape away afterwards and reveal clean white framed sections

Thanks Joe. Did you base these four paintings on the same landscape?

no, I made them all up

Love your mountains. And thank you very much for your recommended reading for mastering greens. I've bought the books!

Good idea - and four strongly coloured and compelling scenes.

Thanks Robert, sometimes it can be intimidatinmg to start on a fresh clean white sheet of expensive w/c paper, you can inhibit your self with the fear of messing up. I use the divided sheet technique to get get rid of this fear, and it let's me have 4 goes to get it right. so no worries really. And I can experient like mad.
