Rubbish

Ever since I settled on my current palette of 12 colors, I've been on the lookout for opportunities to use some of the colors I have less experience with. I'm especially keen to use the ones that I weren't on my palette before I made that selection of 12: quinacridone rose, transparent pyrrol orange, cobalt turquoise, and quinacridone gold.

On an evening walk the other day, I noticed the golden lines and letters on the black garbage bins and smelled an opportunity to use some quinacridone gold. Last night, I made a drawing of one of them with the intention of coloring it in but when it was done, I liked it so much that I decided to leave it as it was. I've been practicing my circles in perspective and I like how they came out. If you can think of something else I can draw with one of the colors I mentioned, please get in touch!
