A quick sketch showing another view from our barn-house, thus time looking west at what we call the south pasture (Michael calls it his putting green — with hazards). Only one donkey in view; not sure where the goats were. We’ve opened up all pastures since fixing the fence that was down during construction so they have several grazing areas available.
Last year I filled the Demi Palette sketched on the left with an urban sketching set of colors patterned after one Joan Blundell suggested on her blog, with a couple of changes. I find Indian red too opaque so I use lunar red rock instead — same pigment but more transparent. And I use monte amiata natural sienna instead of goethite and green apatite instead of sap green. (Mine look a bit paler than normal in this palette sketch because I wanted the color names to show through.)
Recently, Maria at art-toolkit.com started offering an Ultimate Sketching Palette filled with Jane’s colors. A very versatile set of colors!
