ACEO - Shapes 3

It seems as though we have totally by-passed spring and have jumped straight into summer with the temperature today reaching 82F (27.8C) with the humidity making it feel like 89F (31.7C). We were fortunate to have a strong breeze blowing to make it pleasant to be outside.

I thought that today I would work on another abstract painting.

Using a pencil, I marked out a couple of rectangles.

With alizarin crimson, I painted in the long rectangle on the right side.

I moved diagonally to the bottom and used Antwerp blue to paint in the rectangle.

Using a mixture of both colours, I painted in the horizontal bar at the top left side.

Lastly, I used cadmium yellow on the bottom horizontal bar to complete thee painting.

The ACEO shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper.
