Rustic Vase

I initially started out by trying to make this a large picture, but ended up making a huge mess of it, both the colour and the washes. But by reducing it in size, simplifying it, and allowing myself to use some spontaneity and just enjoy the process, I ended up with a much better product. I like the simple colour palette, and I think my use of value was fairly successful.

It is simple, and as I am still a beginner I'm probably using the small size as a crutch, but sometimes simple is better.
