I enjoy playing with different limited palettes to paint the same Scottish seascape. This seascape is a view from St Abbs towards Horsecastle Bay. This time, I painted a small study using a limited watercolour palette.
I purposely made few marks and did my best to slow down. Sometimes, I feel too eager to see my view appear on the paper.
I have a reference photo or another study in acrylic I could work from, but I chose to work from memory.
I paused between making some of the marks. I changed my mind about how I wanted to create the unsettled, overcast sky, as you can see from the marks I had made previously.
This limited colour palette is made up of these three colours:
- Raw Sienna
- Burnt Sienna
- Ultramarine Blue.
