Cad Yellow Deep Oil Tube

"Cad Yellow Deep Oil Tube"

This little daily painting is painted on a gessoed paper. It is my Michael Harding Cad Yellow Deep oil tube which I brought from a plein air painting trip to Italy, Rome, where I can find good quality paints and art stores. Earlier this year I participated a daily painting challenge and wanted to try to paint quickly different things and materials with oils. The photo is taken late at night so the lightning isn't the best possible.
