James Gurney | Painting with Two Colors (Plus White) @JamesGurney | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
James Gurney paints a snow pile using just ultramarine blue and burnt sienna, plus some white gouache. This limited-palette method is a popular painting method.
Arthur Guptill said, "A rich effect can be obtained with only a limited palette. A warm and cool combination affords the student the best approach to his color problems, especially as they relate to outdoor sketching."
E. Barnard Lintott said, "For a young student there cannot be a better way of entering upon the study of water colour than by rigorously banishing all but two colours from his palette. It is the best and surest way to the study of full colour. The colours should be a cold and warm one; cobalt blue and warm sienna—or Prussian blue and burnt sienna—are two combinations which lend themselves to a great variety of treatment."
