Media: oil on gessoed birch board
Size: 12x12 in
I have to really push myself to use vibrant colors! I have this idea that murky, muddy colors are more serious and therefore valid. I wear muddy colors because they look good on me, but I am always drawn to bright, vibrant colors in gardens, clothes on other people, and in paintings...especially in paintings. So today, before I started painting, I put out 4 different possible 'pink makers'. (magenta, quinacridone violet, etc.) I labeled them, and then mixed them with some white to see what they made. It really helped...and I suddenly saw the overlap of Kate Spade and David Hockney in their palettes! I'd never noticed that connection before...(their general styles being so different). I love how we can take the same materials and do such differnt stuff with them! I have to really push myself to use vibrant colors!
