(162) Tertiary Triads
Here I chose two tertiary triads for comparison. The top palette consists of Red-Orange, Yellow-Green, and Blue-Violet; and the bottom one is Yellow-Orange, Red-Violet and Blue-Green.

You are getting good at these. You will be all ready for the Macpherson class. Good quote. I think Kevin calls it val-hue.

Ah yes, val-hue.

Hi, I came upon your blog in the usual manner and can not remember when I've enjoyed reading and looking at a blog so much. I am just teaching myself oils, (I mostly use watercolor) I purchased both of Kevin Macpherson's two books and love them. I think his way of teaching is great, and your blog encourages me to stick with it. I am going to put your blog in my favorites. Thanks for the good read and paintings I've seen.

Do you set your self a time limit when you are painting?

Hi Nancy,
Thank you so much for visiting. I usually don't set a time limit, life already does that for me--he, he... I find that there is no time or space when I paint because I get lost in it and enjoy it so.
Enjoy Kevin's books--I find there is so much to learn. It is a wonderful journey that never ends.
