Chain of Challenges, episode 24.
You might have noticed that some pixel artists sometimes practice by studying classical oil paintings, which basically means redrawing them using their own colours and techniques. We will be doing exactly that, but with a twist, because this week's challenge is combined with the weird palette series. However, there's an additional twist: this time, you'll be creating your own unique palette.
Paint a study of an oil painting of your choice, that is or includes a landscape, from before the 20th century (before 1900), using only 12 colours chosen by you from the provided natural pigment palette.
Become an old master for a week. Build your own palette, perfect from the task, from the available resources, and paint us your (copied) masterpiece.
