Painting Challenge: Day 1 of 30, "Cocoa in the Orchard"

I painted in the cocoa orchard this afternoon and did my best to capture a decent image with the very limited Zorn palette of yellow ochre, titanium white, ivory black and cadmium red deep.

It came out looking like a faded old magazine illustration or something. Very weird.

 

I dunno. 

I think I'm adding blue tomorrow. This palette would be great for skin tones and figure painting, though. I just think it looks too flat for plein air, especially in the bright and cheerful tropics.
