I'm experimenting with trying to pull a look of blue from vine black adjacent to ercolano red. Lighter tones seem to work best.

More of the same with dry glazing
Still playing with dry glazing. Last night's glazes dried easily in less than a day. I'm really having a fun time with this piece. It's such a different direction and it feels great to simply poke around exploring.

It is interesting to see the grey/vine black + ercolano red cherckerboard sample in today's post. At first glance, much like viewing an Impressionist painting, my eye automatically combines the two colors and reads this as violet- but if I cover over either of the two colors, they read as red or grey.
ReplyDeleteThis little piece continues to be a valuable learning experience/experiment on many levels!

I'd like to try this impressionistic effect when I pick up the pastels in my upcoming course. "The Art of Pastel Painting" by Alan Flattmann is going to be my reference for that.
