Oil Sketching - "Tomato Plants in the Evening"

Scroll down for photos!

  I just got back today from a weekend beach trip with my family and two of my best friends.  I did some pencil sketching on my trip but I really missed my oil paints. I got back home early enough today to do a quick 6" X 8" oil sketch.  The sun was going down fast, but I always love the evening and dusk so I wanted to do a sketch during that time of day.
  For some technical information: here's a list of the colors I used for this.  Starting at the top right of the palette and circling counter-clockwise:
  -Silver White
  -Naples Yellow
  -Chrome Yellow Light
  -Chrome Yellow Deep
  -Yellow Ochre
  -Venetian Red
  -Emerald Green (Veronese Green)
  -Viridian
  -Burnt Umber
  -Ivory Black
  It's a pretty basic color palette, but you could also put out some ultramarine blue  and cobalt and have a fully realized landscape palette.  I was using a really small palette box so I decided I didn't need any blues or.  Another note about colors on your palette: try and figure out what colors you really need instead of setting up a standard palette.  And you don't really need as many colors as you think you do.  Less is more.
