Coty: My challenge list

Hi there! I am Constanza Ehrenhaus, known online also as Faerywitch. I recently posted in my blog that I was challenging myself to grow as an artist and posted a list of things to study and paint. Angela here saw that list and kindly invited me to join her community blog (yay!)
I have already been asked if it is OK to repeat the exercises in this list, and my answer is "Please do! I would love to see your journey too!" So let me share with you my list:

Palettes:
Monochrome

Limited
(Circe)
Complementary
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Split complementary
Analogous
Multicolor
Warm
Cold

Why? Because I feel that my coloring could use improving!

Composition:
Pyramidal
Spiral
Big group of people
Architecture
one point perspective
two points perspective

Why? Because my compositions are quite the same, and it's boring.


I decided to keep my submission for the Enchanted Visions Project: Circe, very muted and limited. I chose an earthy palette because I wanted to keep an “ancient” look, and I used a roman inspired frame. Also, I wanted to practice fur, which didn’t come out as good as I wanted, but it is a good first attempt
It was challenging, I hated it for most of the process but towards the end it started to come together. I do like the final look, with the frame in place and the wrinkled texture.
