Yesterday, I was looking back through some of the DPW challenges, and I ran across Michael Naples' "The Zippo Challenge" from last February. The rules were very simple -- a limited palette of ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and titanium white. Michael achieves the loveliest neutrals in his paintings, so I was intrigued to try this one. I learn so much from each one of these challenges. I am going to try to go back through and catch up on some of the ones that I've missed.
On a side note, does everyone's Blogger Dashboard look completely different today? If you know of a way to go back to the old format, please let me know, okay? The new version is freaking me out a little bit!
Happy painting!
