Teaming Up - Blue Bottle and Copper still life

This piece was created based on a still life set up from our daily painting class. I brought a bunch of small items from glass jars to small pumpkins, we used scraps of canvas for our backdrop. The exercise for the day was to work with just complimentary colors, plus white and grey paint. I chose the blue/orange compliment. I used just ultramarine blue and cobalt blue, transparent red oxide, cad orange, titanium white and neutral grey. It was. A challenging exercise but worth trying to see how many color combinations can be made from a very limited palette.
