Sometimes it is fun to limit a painting to certain perimeters. I decided to try these four colors in my art journal as part of an assignment from Carla Sonheim’s year long class:
I used Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics in Medium Magenta, Cadmium Orange, Payne’s Gray and a light gray blend (Titanium White mixed with Payne’s Gray).
I don’t think it is done. What would you do to complete it?
Would you add another color? Glue collage on top? Add a quote or a poem?
I look forward to hearing your ideas!
Cheers! 🙂

Funny you would say, blue, Margaret! I almost added blue instead of the Payne’s Gray! It could use some blue! And I like your idea of a poem too. 😄

I wouldn’t add too much. I like the simplicity. (K)

Thanks Kerfe! Yes, there is always that fine line of simplicity and adding too much! This is why I stopped. I liked the simplicity and yet it didn’t quite feel done. 😉 Thanks for your input! 🎨
