Progress report




Hi everyone, It is so nice to be working at a reasonable size instead of tiny!

My challenge to myself on this one is in color mixing. I'm not allowing any browns or black to create the colors in this painting. My only exception is burnt sienna which I mix with ultramarine blue for all the deep tones. The greens are mixed from various blues and yellows. The background is cerulean blue with cad scarlett. I figure the only way to understand this color stuff is to do it the hard way. I din't realize I would have so much fun! I love creating color.

Jean
