Or, as some of us have it, 2020.3 …. hoping all who read this are healthy and managing ok. I have started the new year with participating in all all-new 30 Faces/30 Days challenge.
In the meantime, my last oil painting of 2020, Inna’s Mom, saw me make major changes to my palette. My previous standard had been developed for the landscapes I had painted for many years:. The delicacy of this reference photo brought out how color mixes suitable for harsh daylight would not serve me well. I came up with a soft red violet of pthalo blue with madder lake, a soft bright blue for the background, and instead of using cadmium yellow in my skin tone mix I made a blend of hansa yello and Naples yellow. Here’s to continued playing with color!
I have added some new work to the Oils and Mixed Media pages. In February look for lots of new drawings!
