Still life in Primary Colors

The color theory course will be running us through various excercises in the use of color. The first one (after the obligatory color wheel), was to do a self portrait, using only 3 colors. The color scheme choices were red/yellow/blue or orange/purple/green. I opted for the first choice, so as to save on the mixing time (the only other color I have in a tube is purple -- we're supposed to mix all of our own colors, even black).



After finishing my portrait, I took a good long look, and was reminded of Andy Warhol's wild use of colors.
