A couple of weeks ago my Challenge Group unveiled our May paintings. You may recall that the challenge was to paint only with the complements of yellow and purple. I learned a lot and had fun too.
It was such an interesting exercise that I really wanted to try it again using other complements with the simple figure study I did for "Dancer at the Bar". I am again amazed how much can be done with only two pigments (in this case, cadmium scarlet and ultramarine blue) plus white.

Beautiful work Diana...I love all the shades of blues in this!
You are so talented! I love this painting.
One would never imagine only two colors were used if you hadn't said anything. Beautiful, Diana.
Thanks Don, Hilda and David for visiting and leaving remarks. You all made my day.
A very elegant painting, Diana!
Thanks for dropping by, Bill.
