A tiny gesture painting in oil using just Burnt Sienna, Ivory Black and Titanium White. Clearly a good chunk of my problems lie in working with values. This painting measures 3.5″X4″ https://www.johnhuismanart.com/

Just trying to limit myself on time to keep it loose. I am not sure if that is working. We will see in time. Maybe. https://www.johnhuismanart.com/
