Gouache and Ink, 4x5 on Paper

My goal in this study was to create balance, variety, proportion and movement with a set palette of primaries around the focal area in the lower right quadrant.  The challenge was to balance the large yellow of the upper left with colors and shapes.  I used the lines to tie the composition together and to give the colors form and structure.
