This comes from a lesson on silhouettes. My students first painting a mingled wash in sunset colors on their paper, grading down to a sandy bottom. When it dried they added palms and foliage in the forground in a dark color, creating a sunset effect. these can be very striking paintings because of the drama caused by the light and dark values. I was playing around, using up the the Paynes Grey paint I had squeezed out, creating some clouds, putting in a horizon, spritzing with a spray of water, tilting the paper, adding some grasses at the bottom.....resulting in this monochromatic painting of the Florida Savannahs.
