Oil 6 x 6
This is my entry for Carol Marine's Daily Paintworks
challenge this week. The photograph was submitted by
Michael Naples, and participants were only allowed to use
a palette consisting of ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and white.
You would think that using such a limited palette might make this
challenge more difficult, but in fact it was easier to focus on
value shifts without the distraction of a lot of color, and quite
interesting to see the variety of color that could actually be
created from these three colors.
Have to say, I am LOVING these challenges!

I love to use ultramarine blue and burnt sienna. Sounds like a great challenge. Nice work Claire.
You handled this challenge very well. The values you created are perfect.
Great job with that limited palette, and I love the reflections in the silver lighter.
Composition is fabby!
Great job, Claire. My 2 favorite colors.
Thank you everyone! I like the challenges because they make me push myself in a different direction - leave the comfort zone, and that's always good for growth.
Pure magic, Claire.
I'm impressed. It just works. Just goes to show what can be done with only three colors.
Thanks Cecelia and Ron. I am actually thinking of trying this extremely limited palette for another painting I have been wanting to do...will have to see if it works out.
