It doesn't always seem obvious what I am doing with my palette, and its true I like to explore my options. On the whole though I find myself drawn towards warm/cool shifts in hue, but across a narrow tonal range. I also like big hits of colour. I wonder if I can label this as my style??

I can't really take much credit for this painting as I was ready to scrape it all off at the end of the life-class. I sometimes can't see beyond the wetness of the paint, I like my oils DRY : )
Very glad our tutor Wendy made me keep it!

You need big hits of colour do you? ;-) Rob.

Thank you : ) yes big hits of colour work hard, in amongst all the greys!
