Limited Palette Challenge - Monument Hobbies August 2026 Challenge

I painted this for the Monument Hobbies' August 2026 Limit Palette challenge. The three paints (chosen random for the challenge) were Bold Pyrrole Red, Faded Plum, and Jade. Black and White were included allowing a bit of control over value

The three colors made a tricky palette. Mixing Jad and Faded Plum makes an interesting blue. While Jade and Bold Pyrrole Red gives the browns. I struggled brightening the browns, adding a little white to the red and jade mix created a shade that was quite close to the faded plum. Overall, this was a cool challenge. It was little frustrating (at times), but still fun.

There were over forty entries, all were excellent and demonstrated what can be done with the limits of this palette. You can find a few of the entries here on The Baselair, but check out Monument Hobbies 2026-09-03 stream on YouTube to see the other entries
