Poem: A Limited Palette
Paint with words
try to describe
how I feel
Not very easy to start
even more difficult
with a limited palette.
You can do much
with the basics
Color theory
complementary colors
to make harmony.
red and yellow make orange
yellow and blue make green
blue and red make purple
black and white make gray.
I have more than I think.
But I must plan this composition
the shades, the tone, the light
even the subject matter
to make the painting
pleasing to the eye.
From the underpainting
to the final draft
every brushstroke is stifled:
for I need to ensure
your sensibilities
aren't offended.
