Artist and Piece: Matisse’s The Dance
Colors: Orange and Blue (tints & shades)
It was difficult to make the green colors and shades without phthalo green, so I added a small amount along with black for the bottom row. Maybe I should have added more yellow to the greens instead of my orange mixture?

Lovely work Devynn, now you must go to the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia to see their Matisse collection. Good exploration of close value tones. You had a tricky one with limited greens but did a fine job.
That bottom row of earthy green pixels is just gorgeous!! You did a good job of defining those soft value shifts. Sad part about pixelating feature is that it averages values and takes away a lot of vibrancy from the reference painting; it would have been so fun to include a pop of that bright orange that Matisse uses in the original!
