over the weekend, i painted these two impression paintings, one a still life and the other a seascape. painted them both with cobalt blue, cadium red deep, cadium yellow pale, sap green and titanium white. limiting your colors palette to the 3 primaries and green (there are some theorys that green is the the 4th primary) will allow you examine how the other tones of colors are made and why they appear as they do, especially the greens.
the main difference in greens is whether they lean towards yellow or lean towards blue. sap green leans towards yellow, viridian green leans towards blue. once you determine that, then they change tones by adding the complement.
