Ten Shades of Brown and Blue (Grays)

In most art classes you will learn that there is 10 shades of Gray. From pure black to white, but when you get down to it the best grays are from complementary colors or the good old brown to blue with titanium white.

This is a copy of another one of Jerry Yarnell's paintings from PBS. I like the old road bringing you to the church. The sunset or sunrise, all of the trees in the background that adds to the drama. The tree in the fore ground also creates depth.

The grays go from Burnt Senna to Ultramarine Blue, the muted gray/white snow also leads into more of a soothing effect.

Again I have done this painting from memory. I love watching PBS and all the talented artists they present.

Add gray to your pallet and try some of these fun paintings.
