Gray Study of Two Cups
With these I tried something different: I premixed my grays. I made the darkest gray I could with my red, yellow and blue. Then, using white, I mixed five incrementally lighter shades and started painting. I tried to limit myself to my six choices. It's a good exercise in really seeing and comparing values. Since doing these studies, I find myself staring at scenes or objects and imagining how I would paint them in grays.

Still Lifes at the Sink
10" x 8", oil on paper
A scene in my kitchen I look at multiple times a day and have often thought- I'd like to paint this.
So finally I did and happily I managed not to get any paint on the counters.
