Based on Picasso's "Girl with a Pitcher"

As I've whined before, my printer only prints in monochrome, in this case it was magenta. This helps me with value (how light or dark) but not at all with color. Since I don't paint in front of the image on the computer, I have to guess. In this case I put some swatches of close pastel on a sheet of paper and winged it from there. I was amazed how close I got, with the exception of the pitcher and bowl. The more muted colors of the vase in the original add to the overall softness of it. I'll post it above.
