Secondary Colors
The whole purpose of this painting was to depict the scene in the secondary triad: orange, green and purple.
I worked from the middle of the scene outward, surrounding the lights with soft-edged darks, gradating from darks to midtones, all the while keeping the color scheme in mind.
Keeping it simple sometimes means limiting your palette. Try a secondary triad to keep repetitions and harmonies to a maximum.
