Someone challenged me to paint with a new palette. An Italian earth palette. Think ochre, Sienna, umber and mars black. So outside my comfort zone. Painted today with the Sugarloaf group and stuck with it kicking and moaning but I am pretty pleased with the outcome. Definitely a challenge and took some mixing , not so sure the colors vibrate, but maybe they are just meditating. I will use it again and have already thought of some new ways of using the colors, maybe grounding the canvas in a red oxide? All the paintings in today's session were about pattern and more pattern.

ReplyDeleteI like this a LOT. It moves you into a new visual language. I think you can really start a new approach to your work. This in no way means abandoning what you are doing it jsut gives you a wider range to express your visual interpretation of the worl. Nice work. It is compelling in its simplicity and warmth.XO
ReplyDeleteI love your bright colorful paintings; now I see you can be just as good with muted colors! - George Fitzgerald

ReplyDeleteI almost forgot to mention that funny as it may seem i always ground my linen in some form of red when using the earth palette.
