What I discovered about this painting is that palettes can be extremely simple. Most of this was done with Titanium White, Ivory Black, Ultramarine Blue Deep, Raw Sienna, and very, very sparingly, both Chromium Oxide Green and Alizarin Crimson for some of the grass and the lawn chars in front of the house. The vast majority of the painting was done with just those four colors. It amazes me how much can be accomplished with such a limited palette.
Here's another exercise from James Gurney's video. I feel my brushwork is still a little clumsy but I can feel myself being more confident with the traditional medium.

Casein paint is such a great medium to use; I myself used Pelikan Plaka paints years ago, but haven't used them since, preferring to use acrylics or other aqua-based media. Your work looks interestng. Hope you continue to experiment with casein - it has all the attributes of oil paint and can be buffed to a velvety sheen once properly dried.

Your weekly casein painting of the San Jose Islands sounds amazing! It must be a beautiful and inspiring subject. Can't wait to see how your artwork captures the essence of those islands!
