Cottage at the Edge of the Woods

11x14 oil on panel I am trying to make greens with thalo blue. It is a little hard to control but makes glowing greens. My limited palette was Thalo blue, Cad yellow light and Alizarin. I must confess that did sneek in a little Ult blue and Tit white. Questions, comment and suggestions are welcome.

Comment by Lori Ippolito on September 18, 2014 at 5:12: very lovely Ann.. very soft and serene. .I'd like to see yu break up the foreground values a touch. Love Emile Gruppes work BTW!

Comment by Ann Turner on September 17, 2014 at 14:35: Thank you Michael, Olivia and Silvana. I'm not familiar with Emile Gruppe but will enjoy googling him to see how he does it.

Comment by Silvana M Albano on September 17, 2014 at 9:44: Really nice Ann!

Comment by Olivia O'Carra on September 17, 2014 at 8:42: I like the misty background and the overall softness.You managed to get some very nice colours for the roof given the limited palette. I would have considered the Tit White a given and not something needing to be sneaked in.!

Comment by Michael J. Severin on September 17, 2014 at 8:12: Nice control of your greens Ann. I really like the way you handled the atmosphere in the background ..good job. Emile Gruppe used thalo blue to make greens and ultramarine to make violets ...just a little factoid.
