Paint Along May 2020 - Color Swatches

This is the reference photo (courtesy of Barbara Cloud) and the colors we will be mixing in oil. We will be working in oil paint over our acrylic block-in of this scene.

This is what the acrylic foundation should look like.

The next post will be about how to mix the colors as shown in the swatches above. Note the color of the sky...a very light lavender. Also note that I have included a swatch of pure black. Next to it is the darkest value I lifted from the reference photo. It is a very warm dark color. We won't be using black straight out of the tube but may enrich it with a warm (Alizarine Crimson) or cool (Ultramarine Blue or Viridian Green).
