Tiling Method of Painting - Warm/Cool Palette

Warm/Cool Tiling Palette - Burnt Sienna + Ultramarine Bl. + White

  A very interesting method of painting that we're learning at the Florence Academy is called tiling.  The idea is to create small color swatches in a mosaic manner to define the exact color and value of each stroke.  No blending allowed.
  For anyone interested in learning to paint, I suggest trying this method with just black and white.  Remember that it's not about creating a beautiful painting, but being able to mix color to get an accurate illusion of form.  Don't be lazy with it and you'll learn a lot.

From a distance, the swatches resolve into a rounded form.  Your eye blends them together from a distance.
