Thank you Maya. I have been after this color scheme for days now. I wasn't able to get that ceulean ar warm greyish purple for a long time. πGlad that finally someone acknowledged this. This is really common here now. Will be gone in next week as the mushroom white cloudsΒ will arrive.

Greenish blues are notoriously difficult to get right (and combine with something else), I have no idea why.
Clouds are a nice topic, too

Β Like you use Cobalt Azure(which is pricy as hell in here), I use Cinerous Blue. I get beutiful grey when I mix it with Cadmium Red Light.
I also use torquoise (white nights) which is a deep and staining color and I couldn't control it in the beginning. Zbukvic uses Cobalt teal Blue shade instead. I got that green subdued colors of the grass accidentally when I mixed my blue with raw sienna.
I love clouds. Every season I try to take visual notes, its so fascinating!!!!
*wow!! I am so excited. How roles have turned π then I will make some portrait this weekend as well π*

Personally,I hate pthalo blue and also Prussian blue. I end up darkening things unnecessarily. Some people recommend me but I fail to control them.
Classic mixture to avoid greens in the sky is to use cobalt blue and yellow ochre. My master used to use that and many people use this like the great Alvaro Castagnet.Again, that would not work here as it's different.
Obviously it's magaic. Painting the sky is the best amusement a watercolorist can have. I painted some awesome clouds in my tennage year when I didn't know how to control pigments that I can't recreate now π
That's cool!! You are illustrating your colleague!! It must be fun.I am going to work on a figurative painting today of women working.Not many people I have to paint here.

Me, too. They look pretty, but they are not as versatile as you might think. I might have heard in one of art-bat 's youtube tutorials (unfortunately, in Russian) that he was using phthalo for the sky, but I might be misremembering. But he can paint with anything and it will look cool regardless

Cerulean is similar to white down Pthalo blue. British landscape painters palette (disciples of Edward Wesson) always had prussuian blue as one of the ten pigments, which is very pthalo blue alike.
Still my favorite blue of all is ultramarine because of its versatility
