Thought I'd jump in here and post the finished painting I did as a demo for a class I was teaching. This is done with a very limted palette - pthalo blue, permanent rose, new gamgoge, quin coral for the iris petals and beard. Same blue & yellow for the stem with a toss of FUB and burnt sienna. Background was done by mixing a black out of pthalo green and permanent alizarin, then leaning it toward green by adding my green mixture and a bit of FUB. Basically, it was the dreggs of the palette with fresh mixtures of my working paint thrown in.
