WCW292 3 color winter

Photo Details

Poster: MariLynn

I was intrigued by the limited pallet of 3 colors. I used the technique I call underwriting where I write with a pencil and then partially erase before I start the painting.

I love church houses, MariLynn, and this is such a wonderful painting of one. I like your technique and good job with the three colors.

So pretty, I like that it has a ghosted effect through the paint, the words. and The idea of building the whole scene using 3 colors is neat I agree.
