I was looking though my previously painted pieces, and came to the realization that I rarely use more than 2 colors in each piece. I do use tints and shades of the colors, but had no examples on hand of a painting with more than 3 separate colors. This is what I created while trying to remedy that. I had my tube of alizarin crimson out, which has quickly become one of my favorite colors to work with. I used as many colors as I could in this piece, by mixing some, then using my store bought-premixed version next to the ones I mixed. I used my oil painting bristle brushes to help blend the colors, and really like how this piece turned out.
