Alchemical- Chroma Gradation

This was from the same project as the hue gradation, and actually I did the sketch for this painting before the other one. This half of the project was to do a chroma gradation, again in either analgous or monochromatic colors. So I chose red, though I originally sketched it in red, red-orange, and orange for my hue gradation. I spend much less time on this than I did on my other painting as I didn't realize it was due. Still, I really like the way it came out.
