Applying paint on a whim and straight out of the tube can be tempting (I’ve done it a lot!), but it can also lead to a painting that doesn’t harmonize and you may find that you keep using the same colors over and over. In this video, I am practicing painting without an agenda and using only two colors (Yellow Gold and Quinacridone Magenta + black + white). By working with an extremely limited palette, I increase my ability to mix colors, learn to be more creative within those limitations, as well as grow my understanding of how colors in a palette can all be used to make the colors you apply to your painting, thereby creating a natural harmony.
