This is a wonderful daily practice to connect with the subject your want to paint. It is also the best way to get to know the colors you have on your palette and how to use them

Lorene shares an intense work with color that I find intriguing, yet would redefine down a different playful path. One color she must add to her palette is a lime green; it would help build her exploration of adding yellow to a green, instead of the blue which darkens what should be spring greens. I appreciate this exploration of color:)
