I was not brave enough to actually do the November challenge… but I’d got in the groove and I am happy with the result! This is a fairly limited palette, three colors plus black and white (but obviously not using the palette knife!)

The perspective is great, really gives the looming effect. Love that foliage too.

With low-chroma pretty much what you have is value… something satisfying about it.

January 16, 2023 at 4:10 pm #1498733I like this. Did you make up the building or is it an actual place? Nice work, the somber tones and values work really well for the subject to create an imposing image.
