Color Study

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.

I really like @whereissofi (https://www.instagram.com/whereissofi/?hl=en) on Instagram’s watercolor paintings.
