Painting with acrylic, oil, collage ...

... and a limited palette!

I used this photo, which I took at the Shrine of St. Therese in 2020, as the basis for a painting submitted as part of a painting challenge presented by Juneau's Plein Rein Painters. 

The parameters (thought up by a few of the painters) were as follows:

Here are the steps my painting took.

I used a grid to guide my composition.

At one point, I turned the photo upside down 

to remember to "just paint shapes".

My paint ...

and uh, the reason there is a blue tube of paint
is that I use that and the Burnt Umber
to make my own black.

Which I did.
And greens were made using my own black + yellow + the other legal colors.

It made lots of nice greens!

This is where i added the (pink) collage paper.

You can see the number 30 on the paper ... 

proof it is paper!

and more pink paper

"glued down" with acrylic gel medium
