This
is a companion painting for yesterday's painting, "Bridge over Troubled
Waters". I used Cobalt turquoise, raw sienna, burnt sienna, and
quinacridone gold for both paintings. Limited pallette is one way to
avoid color troubles. We are now in Florida, enjoying our escape from
winter weather, so I expect my colors to change dramatically. Full
disclosure: These first 2 paintings, I had done ahead, knowing that I would be
traveling for 4 days to get down here. :)
I am curious as to your thought process of how you begin a composition such as this. Do you have an idea that you wish to express? Do you start making brushstrokes and then see where it takes you? It seems so very freeing.
ReplyDeleteThese start with a dry brush technique, and then I add Collage after that . I will try to show some steps in later posts.
DeleteI forgot to say how much I enjoyed your painting;)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, where in Florida?
We are renting a house in Venice, FL. Love it here! I’m teaching in Fort Myers in February and in Bradenton in March and April. If you live close, join us!
DeleteI really like the colours you have chosen for these two pieces, Karen - a great combo. I will look forward to posts about your process.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Hoping to try many different color combinations!
DeleteKaren, these remind me of your "Little Abbies" just bigger!
ReplyDeleteThey are similar but because they are bigger, the process is different, Janet.
