Acrylic on Canvas Board - NFS
I've had this photo of my dad I've been meaning to paint for ages, so in honor of father's day, I did.
I've been having trouble with mixing colors and my palette in general lately, so I took a look back at Kevin Macphearson's book "Fill Your Oil Paintings with Light and Color" and it finally hit me. I'm going back to basics and only using 3 colors (cadmium red, cadmium yellow, ultramarine blue) and white.
I don't even remember how I wound up with my mixed up selection of colors, but after the last workshop and the frustration I had doing those vegies for DSFDF, I've decided I'd better learn how to mix my own colors from now on.

The first thing that caught my eye was the color! You did this with three colors! Great Job!
