Fixed-palette painting

This is a freehand painting [no photo involved]. It was an experiment - I selected a palette of certain colors, chosen from a painting whose 'atmosphere' I liked. I then used those colors - and only those - to paint the scene. Normally I would have actual greens and blues, and plenty of them - but here I had to use just what was available.

 

I based my scene on a real place - Scafell Pike on the Wastwater in the Lake Distract of England. The painting program I used is called 'Paint'. I then adjusted the tones and darkened them, increasing the contrast.
