I painted this still life using just three colors and white. I love the challenge of working with a limited palette and seeing just how many color variations and relationships can come from so little.
The fresh green of the tarragon became the starting point, set against a background of lavender, periwinkle, dusty pink and soft blue. I wanted to play with the contrast between the loose, delicate branches and the more structured geometric shapes behind them.
It's always interesting to see how much can happen with just a few colors. For me, painting is about experimenting, mixing, adjusting and finding that sweet spot where everything comes together.
