Monochromatic Painting



This week the task was to create a monochromatic painting. This is a 36 x 36 oil with only Windsor and Newton's Olive green and Titanium White. Now the technique that I like to teach with the 'seven steps' used by the Old Masters is similar, but I kind of combined steps 3 and 4 and used white in what would have been my underpainting. My monitor is a bit screwy and I think the ratio is off so everything looks stretched horizontally to me. Hopefully, this looks alright. enjoy.
