squwetchy In my quest to do more quick #pleinair #sketching I’ve been attempting to think about the idea of the #10minutesketch … which is pretty self-explanatory I think. What can you get on paper in ten minutes? Can it capture the mood and the vibe of a place, in quick and messy wonder? The non-framed picture was painted in a park in about ten minutes.

squwetchy I was reading about this thing called the Zorn Palette (great for portraits and people scenes) which is a three colour restricted #palette consisting of yellow ochre, vermillion & black, and all the #colours you can mix on variations of those three. i don’t have those colours, at least not in tubes, but it got me thinking about a restricted palette i could make that might be good for nature scenes with just three tubes: this #watercolour and ink #sketch was done with just cerulean blue, lemon yellow and payne’s grey. if no one has named that palette yet i’m calling dibs and we’ll try some more pics with it… but i’m going to the art store someday to get me some #zorn colours too!
