Why those colors?

The Palette.

While I was on the road amusing myself,* I discovered that the sketches I thought were random were actually color studies. Investigations into palettes. Which is how I ended up researching "colorist" yesterday, only to discover that wasn't what I meant.

I'm interested in discovering why certain colors and combinations appeal to me at various times. The beach theme I get. The rest, not so much.

I wish I would post one of these a day and sort of discuss it a bit. Probably won't.

Here's the full image from the previous post and the four colors involved.

purple, green, lavender
