Recently, I have rediscovered permanent alizarin crimson. As a result it has found it's way back onto my palette. I particularly like how it combines with cerulean blue to create a warm violet sky low in the horizon.
To me this landscape study has an oil painting quality. The top edge of the foliage and the demarcations of the birch tree trunks appears as if a palette knife may have been used.
Coming up with greens by combining blues and yellows is a wide open field. I have been combining cadmium yellow with cerulean blue which creates this great late Summer foliage. I feel some humidity in the air in mixing this pairing.
These color combinations I learned were favorites of Charles Reid a noted watercolorist and instructor who painted for decades.
