"The lusciousness of oil"--what a great way to describe it. And again your choice of colors seems, to my untrained eye, as surprising as it is effective. The rightness of the orange and blue here is amazing.
If you get the inclination to do some painting, I recommend oil painting with a limited palette (that is, two or three colors, plus white), as a good starting place.
It would teach you to get the most out of the colors, narrow your choices, so less confusing, and keep your paintings looking unified.
I suggest oil, just because I like the experience. The same limited palette advice would apply to any medium.
Lately, I've been using life drawing as a starting place for works that combine reality, imagination and experience.

ReplyDeleteThe main light in the studio comes from windows placed high on the tall walls.
ReplyDeleteThe light streams down at an angle. Very effective lighting.
