Oil on Panel 14" X 12"

This study is part of a two part exercise inolving painting the same subject twice, firstly with only ultramarine blue and white, and secondly with only red and white. Red is a lighter value than ultramarine blue, so the red version has a much more narrow tonal range.

The full write up of the exercise can he found here.
