Touch of Red
7x5in oil on canvas board 90.
Okay, Christmas is not even here yet and I find I am already red and green(ed) out.
Green is my least favorite color and red is my favorite. My problem is when I see something as stunning as holly with the bright red berries, I want paint it...and I have been trying to do just that for a couple of days but keep having to wash it off. I will keep trying.
This painting is to clear away all vestiges of red and green.
Behold, a touch of red with a little blue and the most grayed green I could mix.
Keep away from landscapes then! although I guess there isn't a lot of green about at the moment!
ReplyDeleteLike this painting, strong and balanced composition. Lovely gray/green foreground to the lower left. Bravo.
Would really like to watch you working, have you considered a step by step post?
