Courtyard with Pink Chair, 56 x 76cm (22 x 30in)

This leafy courtyard was a profusion of greens touched with the occasional complementary reds. For all those greens I needed a full palette. There were true secondary greens (no red) from yellow to blue in hue, along with tertiary greens interspersed with cadmium yellow and even some browns. I like lots of different colours, so I experiment with all sorts of combinations. The basic colours are raw sienna, burnt sienna, raw umber and burnt umber. The burnt versions are more red than the raw ones. These cover most browns while Payne’s grey, indigo and black sort out the greys. Greens are an essential part of the image and here we see some very useful ones, for example may green, intense green, perylene green plus the rest for occasional use.
