Abstract Primaries #5

Abstract Primaries #5

Gouache and Ink 4x4

For this series that I label "Abstract Primaries." I limit my palette almost entirely to the primaries and secondaries with white gouache. My goal is to create with color, value, and abstract shapes a pleasing composition with movement between warm and cool, dark and light, and shades of color accented with a few guiding lines.
