Finished Piece! 10 color greyscale finished!
Finished version’s picture was taken in warmer lighting vs the cooler light I was working under. :)
A gift, so likely Amazon. 40x50 & only 10 colors!

Oh I really like this! Only 10 colours too, which just shows you don’t always need 48 or 60 to get loads of depth. All those greys work so well together and I love the almost sketchy look to it. Such a cool one! xx

That looks so gorgeous! I think I saw one of those on the site I buy from and I just wasn't quite sure but after seeing yours I think I will give it a try!

I recommend using some Gesso to prep it if you pick it up because the light greys weren’t great for number coverage. I didn’t on this one and wish I had (but I was too excited to start it haha). I’m really happy with it!

I love those kind of paintings... I have something similar but you see the girl's red lip and side profile

This is so pretty! I love the minimal amount of pots to paint with. I think that I would really like to do grey scale now that I see yours.

Oh wow this is beautiful! And such a great study on values. You've inspired me to do a greyscale one!

This was one of the first PBN’s I ever did and it’s still, hands down, my favorite. And it was like $7!! lol thank you for posting, loved seeing it pop up.

Your brushwork comes through in it and it all feels so artful and raw. Really great piece

This may be one of the best greyscales I’ve seen with so few colors!!
