This is 'A Study of Values' over painted with color. I love how the warm under painting makes the colors sing!

Paper Peter Cottontail , Oil, 7x5" SOLD This week at Daily Paintworks is 'The Crumpled Paper Challenge' from Kim Rempel. "Take a piece of paper, crunch it up, put it in a well-lit setting and paint! It's a great exercise to study shapes and relative values." Well, I consider my entry as 'strategically' crumbled paper and that's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;)

ReplyDeleteI agree completely, Mary! It energizes and brings harmony!
Thank you, Dean! I have been using acrylic wash in burnt sienna to establish a value study under several of my recent pieces. However, this one was an exercise in Carol Marine's workshop that was burnt umber oil paint. The lights were rubbed out and darks were applied over a medium value wash. I like that the acrylic is not disturbed by the application of the oils and will not tinge the colors.
Deleteboth soft and rough, and I like the lines that lead to the subject. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Roger! My concern was to lead the eye as well as add interest. I hoped that it would not be too much of a distraction.
DeleteSometimes the simplest compositions are the most powerful. This is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann...I think you are right!
