Seeing Red
8x6in oil on canvas board $125. SOLD
A cuppa tea out in the garden is one of the delights of summer.
Artist Note.
I have painted this red teapot many times and really enjoy it.
Red is my favorite color because it is so cheerful, but I find
it can be difficult to modulate.
I used orange to lighten and a yellow green to take the garish
look away. To darken, I moved into Quinacridone Magenta
with a little transparent oxide brown. Some green was added
to permanent red as a transition color from shadow to light.
I do hope the blog is fully functioning again and the image
comes through.
