Call for Artists – Limited Palette
Painting with a limited palette can mean selecting the fewest paint colours possible to create the widest range of tones on the spectrum. It can also mean choosing the smallest quantity of pigments that are required to create a range of colours that suit the effect you want to create in your artwork. Monochromatic (using only a single colour) would also be considered a limited palette.
We’re encouraging artists to pick three (or less) different colours to include in our limited palettes for this show – not including the pigments that create tints (white) and shade (black or burnt umber).
By using a limited palette in oil, acrylic and watercolour, or any other medium – Artists can mix a diverse range of values and tones -you can create a wonderfully harmonious effect.
Show Dates: August 24 – September 25
Application Deadline: August 21
