This is the barn I look out on every day. I used a limited palette of manganese blue hue, transparent pyrrol orange and raw sienna (plus a touch of indigo and cadmium red on the mailbox) which is a weird combo, but it really does give the sketch a cohesive look. The birch tree actually is as deformed as I’ve shown it — probably stunted by the ’97 ice storm.
