« Clock Tower Chipping Sodbury, casting shadows across the High Street | Main | Rue de la Liberation, Mussidan, France 2 »
Dordogne, France, 15" x 11".
A 'typical' Dordogne country road - undulating hills and round bales of straw waiting to be collected off the fields. With so much green in the picture, I had to introduce different tones of green by altering the amount of water I added or changing the ratio of blue to yellow. I rarely use any green now in my palette and just add ultramarine blue to cadmium yellow, but any yellow or blue will do.

That's a great painting Tim! Now that I'm trying to paint watercolours I realise just how skillful you really are!

Is there any particular reason why you avoid using green, for example sap green?

I find that making your own green makes for more interesting greens
