A Little Bit of Skye


A Little Bit of Skye

Oil on board  20 x 24'
Bridget Hunter 2012

Still trying out the new blue ( Windsor Blue, green shade ) and finding it makes some very intriguing mixes with Cadmium Red or Yellow Ochre or a warmer blue, or combinations of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I work with a limited palette of 7 colours anyway so it's been an adventure into the unknown.
 This oil is based on a sketch done when I spent a week in Skye last year and, like this May, it rained !
