Spring Color Palette

Continuing  

with the book "Contemporary Landscapes in Mixed Media", by Soraya French, the chapter which covers color through the seasons, I worked on a chart of her suggested spring colors:


Top row: Phthalo green, + cadmium yellow light progressing towards yellow. The last is  tint with white.
Second row: Phthalo green toned with Quinachrodine red (she suggests Quin magenta), and cad yellow.
Third row: Phthalo green + Phthalo blue,  + cad yellow. The last is a tint with white.
Fourth row: Ultramarine blue + Qui red + white, + more red, plain Quin red + white, Cad red + white, Cad yellow + white.

And here are the two paintings I'm currently working on, with their progressions this last week:
