Starting a Painting Challenge!
It's my birthday week and for me, that's really the start of my new year. I wanted to get back to oil painting this year, and wanted to do a monthlong challenge to get me going. But I wasn't ready to do so on January 1st when most of the challenges start. So I decided to do my own, starting now! I was hugely inspired by @michellewoodersonart and her limited palette on kraft paper challenge. She was getting amazing results with her unusual palette of Transparent Yellow Oxide, Rose Madder, and Cerulean Blue, so I wanted to try using something similar. Michelle is uses Michael Harding Oil Paints, but I work only in Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Paints, so I had to change the colors to suit that. I ended up with Raw Sienna, Permanent Rose, Cerulean Blue, and Titanium White. I'm also trying to limit my supplies to just 2 or 3 brushes, a palette knife, a mechanical pencil, a Micron Pen, a jar of water, and a stack of kraft-paper card stock cut to 5 ½&q
