As many of you know I love colour in my work but I also recognise that without good tonal value the painting simply wouldn't work and as you saw in my last post, I often paint from B&W images so that I can work on colour and tone. I will be taking a selection of images for the group to work on and we will be doing a monochrome study so that I can hopefully get the idea across of not being afraid of using really dark colour in a painting and how small touches of darks can really bring a painting to life.
Have also done this 6x4 so that it can be sent to the Running with Brushes charity and of course it is day 9 for the 30 day Painting Challenge..... so many uses for such a little painting!!

Really effective and a good exercise too. Hard to tell it is only small. A fifth of the way there nearly
ReplyDeleteJust catching up Judith. I love them all. This one is gorgeous. I love images like this in similar shades.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoying seeing your Christmas images - I personally thought the camel was a great idea.
