I sometimes use what is called the DuMond palette which is essentially the same as Reilly's who was a student of DuMond's. <br /><br />It's interesting to see that he abbreviated the palette down to the essentials that he thought worked best. In DuMond's and Mason's palette they both mixed up 9 values of greens, blues, grays and in Mason's case violets.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014751431677271423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348469350722172251.post-16961691292700553822011-10-14T14:59:51.631-04:002011-10-14T14:59:51.631-04:00John, thank you so much for this information.

In my landscape painting adventures I read somewhere about an artist who uses different combinations of ultramarine blue, viridian, and a little cad red light to mix just about any kind of water. I tried it and it works-for grey days as well as sunny. Then it occurred to me that, since water reflects sky, the same combination of colors could be used to mix the elusive shades of sky, both at the horizon and at the top of the "vault." It worked! For a long time I also have used thalo blue and green especially for the pale but brilliant colors near the horizon. It was so interesting to read about how Reilly used these same colors and how he thought about clouds and atmospheric conditions. Thank you so much for your efforts in sharing this treasure trove of information! And by the way I loved seeing your landscape paintings!Alexandra Tynghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133162133225360906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348469350722172251.post-72281025884274825382011-10-04T22:17:43.745-04:002011-10-04T22:17:43.745-04:00Thanks so much for the info, John, and thanks of e...Thanks so much for the info, John, and thanks of especially to Jerry Allison as well.

This water portion of the palette is arranged to paint the transition from earth into water. <br /><br />WHITE is mixed with VIRIDIAN and/or ULTRAMARINE BLUE up to the VALUE-6 to create a darker sky color for reflections. The resulting Blue-Green/Blue "SKY" @Value 6 is then added to more white, Value-10 thus creating graded steps of "SKY" as indicated by the series of dots along that line in the diagram.<br /><br />WHITE is mixed with RAW UMBER and/or BURNT UMBER to VALUE-4 representing "Wet Earth" seen under or near the water's edge. The resulting Value-4, Wet Earth is used when looking through the THIN (Shallow) water devoid of any sky reflection.<br /><br />There will be a TRANSITION between looking into the THIN water to see the bottom's wet earth @ Value-4 and looking across THICK water to see the various SKY reflections, Values-6 up to 9.5.<br /><br />The TRANSITION progression is represented on the Water diagram's solid light line between Value-6 and Value-4.<br /> <br />The earth/sky TRANSITION patterns in a painting are determined in part by the water's surface (ie: calm pools, ripples, rapids, or turbulent waves) and the angle of reflection toward the viewer.John Ennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448306585629909132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348469350722172251.post-56811725478296087032011-09-12T14:00:55.102-04:002011-09-12T14:00:55.102-04:00Fabulous- this is so helpful!Fabulous- this is so helpful!Judy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09176284042670900772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348469350722172251.post-71789235198548610312011-09-10T10:11:59.996-04:002011-09-10T10:11:59.996-04:00Tristen, I don't have clue what is indicated f...Tristen, I don't have clue what is indicated for values 3&4, or more importantly, what they would be used for. Maybe white plus the reflected local (foliage 3&4) to value 6.

We have a mixture of raw and/or burnt umber and white at value four for wet earth, that's clear enough. Any guesses as to what those two colors that get mixed with white for the V6 water local are? In Apollo Dorian's book he talks about using either terre verte or a V2 or V3 foliage green for that mix, can you find any confirmation for this?Tristan Elwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169919662214037416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348469350722172251.post-74257494338604052462011-09-08T20:14:28.250-04:002011-09-08T20:14:28.250-04:00This is exactly what I need to know right now!

Most of his students who have written books have focused on the figure and indoor work. These last few posts help to rectify that oversight.armandcabrerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772142818316748471noreply@blogger.com
