This is a 11x14 inch oil on stretched canvas that I recently completed.
The lobster trap caught my eye and the soft colours in the background. I will be adding it to my 'Mill River' series.
Still with the colour mixing theme, I wanted to show you the various colours of green that you can mix.
I use a lot of greens in my paintings so this can be helpful. I also have a tube of sap green, but like to mix my greens. The reason for mixing my own green is so I can control the shades of green.
I like to use Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Yellow Medium and Cadmium Pale Yellow. You can also use different yellows to get the shades you want.
To make a warmer green, add yellow. To make a cooler green or darken it, mix more blue. Experiment with it.
When you are out and about this spring and summer look at all the different shades of green. It is endless!

I was out snowshoeing and guess who I found - a little farmer in training. Grampy had Lenny in the tractor with him. He has his own seat in the tractor and just loves it.
