Red Shoes

Once upon a time, I had a pair of red shoes like this. My 8×8 painting is based on a photo by Emily Pottiger on Unsplash. I kept my palette limited.

Background color — Ultramarine Blue, Cad-free Yellow Medium, Titanium White

Shoes — Anthraquinone Red, Naphthol Red, Phthalo Green Blue Shade, Titanium White

There’s a few things I need to tidy up… the stiletto heel needs to be straighter; the drawing was better. The shadow of the leftmost shoe should be straighter, as should the divider line (for lack of a better phrase).
