Comment by Candi Hogan on August 27, 2016 at 14:26: Don't know how I missed this, really like! Interesting what Michael said about the white, I just painted a white house that is way too white, and haven't a clue how to remedy it.

Comment by Michael J. Severin on July 4, 2016 at 11:54: Okay ... happy painting.

Comment by Roberto Rosman on July 4, 2016 at 11:34: Michael thanks for your comment and considerations. I thought you wanted to know the commercial color names. Any way, According to a color rgb percentual, ultramarine blue have also 62 R , 65G and 245 B. , while Burn siena has 160 R 62 G 45B. Analysing through out this point of view the green practicly fades out, resulting in a predominance of blue and red. I have used white to create a value scale , the same way l use to do when I paint the dead layer iin my glazing paintings.

Comment by Michael J. Severin on July 4, 2016 at 10:18: Hi Roberto. Hey, my friend! ... the painting looks great! When you said you used 3 colors, I assumed you used some form of the 3 primary colors .. Blue, Red, and yellow. .... when you stated you used UB and Burnt Sienna, and white .. I understood why I did not perceive the 3rd color .... Roberto, you are painting with 2 colors ... Blue and Red ... white is not a color. Now, having said that, painting with 2 or even 1 color (I have done both) is perfectly fine, but thinking that white is a color, might get you into "trouble" down the road .... you will tend to over use white (thinking it is a color). Your previous painting of the boat on the sand came pretty close to an over use of white ... if you believe that white is a color, then anything that is white, I am afraid you might reach for your white paint .. that would be a mistake. The Burnt Sienna does have a little yellow in it ... so a little warmth is detected here. But anyway, I just wanted to bring that to your attention before you get further along on your learning curve. Happy painting, my friend.

Comment by Roberto Rosman on July 4, 2016 at 8:49: Hi Michael! I used ultramarine blue, burn siena and white.
Ultramarine blue mixed with burn siena gives you a grey. Adding white you can make a value change scale. The hue obtained on mixing those colors will depend on you.
