Reader Submissions: Painting Project: 3 Colors

See Published Submissions

This challenge of painting project is to use a very limited palette to create a painting, to explore how many colors and tones can be mixed with only three colors (plus white). If you're a more experienced painter, consider using the colors as glazes, not only physical mixes. Be sure to read the project instructions. Choice of subject, medium, and size is up to you.
