landscape 2

I've been away for a few days and am just catching up with POL and see that you are still experimenting with the two colour challenges! Love them all but particularly this and the blue and orange. Keep going!

Wow Louise, this is serious work. Love it to bits. Interesting how these two pigments look completely different in your painting compared to mine (apart from the fact that you're obviously more competent). Which violet are you using ?

Thank you Christine and Sharon. Sharon, it's Dioxazine Violet with very little water in the mix, virtually straight from the tube. Also, the paper is Khadi cotton rag which is very absorbent and holds the paint well. I'm not sure if I'd get the same effect on a smoother paper.

This is super Louise, love the composition and love the shapes you've created among the tree's.

Lovely work Very fresh and crisp. I have heard of quintesential gold but never used it.It sounds quite an expensive one .I shall have a look next time I buy some paint

Gorgeous painting. Beautiful colour that q ...

Quintessential sounds very classy David, this has a different name which Gudrun pretends she can't spell.. LOL . It's a Windsor & Newton artist quality paint. Nothing too expensive. Another lovely colour is Quinacridone Red. Worth trying out... Thanks Gudrun, David and also Fiona!

A couple of great landscapes, especially with such a limited palette, normally I only paint with three, but never thought of trying two. Good to see some of your landscapes again, don't think I've seen any for a while.

I like this very much. The two colours work wonderfully together and you've managed a misty atmosphere . I've just bought Deep Quinacridone Gold by Daniel Smith - a lovely rusty colour when used thickly!

Many thanks Kevin and Avril!

Stunning Louise!

This is wonderful and again it doesn't strike me straight away that you have only used two colours because of the variety of tone you have managed to get out of them. I love the composition, which harks back to some of your older paintings. It really is beautiful.

Thank you Lesley and Thea for your kind words. You're right Thea, painting this felt like old times!

These new paintings Louise are gawjus.
