Oil Sketch of Blue Vase
7x5in oil on linen $50. SOLD
The Daily Paintworks Challenge is just that -
a real challenge. A high key blue is required.
meaning a light blue. No wonderful complementary
color can be used to make it sing, but at the same time
the color blue should pop.
This may take a few tries.
Dear Julie, this vase is three-dimensional and incredibly brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI seem to be able to touch, here in front of me!
A challenge contagious: with today I am at the third version, and after opening the box of the blues ...comes the desire to continue!
I am laughing because I understand the contagion.
DeleteGlad you like this one. I was after iridescence.
Looking forward to seeing yours.
It caught my eye Julie! I think it pops even without the complimentary color. There's just something about that aqua blue color.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer. Nice of you to visit. Love your cards and congratulations on winning the prize.
Deletethis is outstanding. so much movement in a still life! it's alive and perfect.
ReplyDeletethanks so much, Suzanne. Your beautiful dog portrait on your blog gave me much pleasure.
Deletethat blue is just gorgeous Julie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon. I agree I love the color too.
DeleteDid I thank you for the information on Blogger having storage limits and charging after a certain level reached? Good info to know everyone . See her post for complete info.
Really love this - and the colour is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann, What a great idea you had with your watercolor brush.
DeleteBy jove, I think you've got it! Love this Julie.
ReplyDeleteThank yu Blanche and I think...by jove... you also got yours right too.
DeleteSo lovely, the way it emerges from the background is mesmerizing!
ReplyDeleteNice of you, Mary, thanks. Love how you handles the hair in your wonderful portrait.
DeleteReally beautifully done! The color is sparkling and vibrant... it's singing for sure.:)
ReplyDeleteSo is your painting beautifully done. The way you handle reflective surfaces is great.
DeleteJulie, This is great work! I love the vibrant color and value in here. Did you notice Quang's blog post when he created the challenge painting (Oct. 6, 2012)...interesting read on Cyan color.
ReplyDeleteI have been confused about his writing on colors and the numbers. Have you?
DeleteThanks for the visit.
It has a sweet and earthy appeal, quite zen like.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I Love all zen influences.
DeleteI love how the vase seems to melt into the background...and still pop ! And totally love the turqoise !
ReplyDeleteYou could call the color aqua, Jane, and find it matches the eyes of the beautiful portrait you did.
DeleteThis is beautiful, Julie. A few tries? I think not! You've already sold this lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteHi and thanks so much. Hope you are painting.
DeleteThe greatest "pop'", as I see it, is at the top of the vase (dark/light) and at the very bottom (dark/light again). The outer edges of unpainted canvas look great in this painting. A beautiful job, Julie.
ReplyDeleteBlue without complements IS a real challenge.
Qiang is really delving into researching color.
Pop is rally what he wants and I do not think the dark/light is what he means -- do you. He has accomplished a lot for his research with this challenge because every combination is there for him to see.
DeleteWow, Julie! so different from your norm! LOVE the color and texture!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Hilda, different because it is a study. I was going to incandescence.
DeleteBeautiful, Julie! You've succeeded with the challenge perfectly and achieved that amazing iridescence.
ReplyDeleteThe vase seems to emerge from an ephemeral shimmering light. Really enjoyed catching up with your last few posts—always so interesting. And, Happy Belated Birthday wishes!
Nice of you to visit and comment, Lorraine. Thanks. I keep waiting for another painting on your blog?????
DeleteJulie, this lovely painting just sings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely description - sings - thanks.
Deletebeautiful...love turquoise.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lavon - obviously I love it too.
DeleteWhat clear beautiful color. This works shows off the fracturing technique so nicely but I agree, this challenge has lots of layers and is just so fun on which to work.
ReplyDeleteI am at last back on line and will have a blue challenge tomorrow. Yipee!
You did a great job with your blue vase. It fits the Challenge perfectly!
DeleteThanks, Sunny.
