Goodbye Comfort Zone, Suilven Landscape Painting

Walk into Suilven, oil on canvas
I don't like brown. I really hate it. I never wear it. It's an old school uniform thing.

But while painting, I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone. So I got the brown paint out.
  • Burnt Umber
  • Raw Umber
  • Raw Sienna
  • Burnt Sienna (I quite like that one, actually)
  • Yellow Ochre (it was in my school tie, so it's still hard to stomache)

I mixed in blues and pinks while I was working, just to alleviate things and even scraped away paint with the hard end of my brush. This is what I came up with.

I'm not finding brown quite as offensive as I once did.
