Limited Palette Painting

For my quarter 2 project I choose to do the limited palette painting. Which is a painting with limit amount of colors. Throughout this project I used acrylic paint. What I did for my project was simple, I choose the colors white and black. Since the only color I could get from mixing the two I chose is gray (but you are able to receive different shades of gray from this). My project illustration is an eye with a city skyline. I choose this because while doing this project I was writing a poem about what I see on a daily basis. One thing I could remember seeing everyday is the city skyline, I see it from my house when I look out my bedroom window and I always see it from my school when I look out the window. Traveling from school to my house I see the city skyline before I go underground and once I get above ground. I used dark colors in this because the poem I wrote describes the darkness of everything I see. I felt as though the dark colors fit well with the meaning behind it. Since I made everything so dark I but the moon in my eye to make it feel as if it was night, because when I think of night, I think of dark colors.
