Illustration 2: Demo
http://illo2mca.blogspot.com/2011/03/demo.html
Monday, March 21, 2011. I painted this little sketch to demonstrate the sort of effect you can get by layering with thin washes of paint (glazing). Each layer remains partially visible through subsequent layers, allowing the colors to mix optically. In this case I was using Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Yellow Deep, and white. I began with a layer of green. Then purple in the shadows. Notice the swatches to the side showing the colors I'm using. More purple to define and deepen the shadows.

Illustration 2: Limited Palettes
http://illo2mca.blogspot.com/2011/03/limited-palettes.html
Monday, March 28, 2011. I found this quick overview of the benefits of using a limited palette. Of illustrator James Gurney. The above image (taken from the linked post) demonstrates the range of colors that can be created from just three or four paints. You can also clearly see why there are a dozen different "reds", for example, in the paint aisle of the art store. All primaries are not created equal, and different varieties of red/yellow/blue will give you different results. Project 3: Invisible City.
