ACEO - Shapes 5

It is a hot, 88F (31C) and humid day 95F (35C) and I thought I would paint inside instead of working in the garden.

I decided to make this piece into an abstract.

First, I drew a couple of rectangles using a pencil.

Starting in the upper left corner I painted that square with Antwerp blue.

For the lower left corner I used a mix of Antwerp blue and alizarin crimson to make a rich purple colour.

Next I moved to the upper right corner and painted it alizarin crimson.

Lastly, I painted the bottom right corner with a mixture of Antwerp blue and cadmium yellow.

I would like to thank Ms. Frances Doane of Toronto, Ontario on her purchase of Threatening Skies (see post on 14 November 2014).

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

It is priced at $20.00 and sold unframed.
