Project 4 Colour - working with Greys and Browns

This is the preliminary painting in my sketchbook to look at the shades and tones to include in the painting. On reflection i think this painting seems to have more energy and life than the completed piece! Working quickly with paints on dry paper but not allowing them to dry between colours has meant the colours have merged into one another, and I quite like the freshness of the finished sketch. Being a big fan of colour I was really not too keen on painting in such muted tones! In addition looking back at this sketch its interesting to see that the light must have been falling differently when I completed this quick sketch as the reflection in the socket adaptor is absent in the final painting.
