For this exercise I chose an image of a plant I photographed at the Eden Project (I didn't make a note of the name which is a bit frustrating but we usually there at least once a year so I'll have to go this year and hope it's still there!).
I printed the photograph onto A4 paper to give good-sized areas of each colour. I played with the viewing frame and eventually settled on this section as representing enough shades but choosing ones that gave a complementary range.
This time I used even more base colours!
I specifically tried not to focus on painting the image but used broad strokes to capture the essential features and location of the colours
