I'm still trying to go lighter here (see previous post). My husband asked me yesterday why I'm resistant to this. I said I had a professor in college who said I used too much white. My husband was flabbergasted that a teacher I didn't even like could have such a profound effect on my painting all these years later. So, I am getting over my fear of white. I am finding it is very useful. I suddenly see that I was focusing so much on shadows and colors I forgot to really pay attention to the light side of things. I'm really enjoying this excercise.
This is really nice Carol. I like your new en"lightened" style. :o)
ReplyDeleteI remember comments like that in school, why do we hold onto the damaging ones instead of the ones that help us do better?
ReplyDeleteYou know, if I didn't know any better I'd say you paint with Bart [bartfineart.blogspot.com]. You guys seem to paint a lot of similar things. It's really nice artwork! Good job! How do you render your paintings on the computer? Camera?
ReplyDeleteThanks,

You can find me at five-thirty.blogspot.com or at eight-thirty.blogspot.com.
Get your white paint (titanium, zinc, flake) out and paint your guts out girl. Try painting a white egg on a white cloth with a salt shaker and a white coffee cup and see how much color you can get.
ReplyDeleteI was told the same thing about white and in my case it was true. But after returning from oils 15 years later, I found myself avoiding white (and black) all together. I'm slowly allowing more white.
ReplyDeleteYour pieces look fantastic as always!
