Let me try and explain...hhmmm...<BR/><BR/>Well...I first try and sense a dominant present color, determine if the light should be warm (thus shadows cool), or light cool (shadows warm)...or if I want a palette such as a complementary or split-complementary palette.<BR/><BR/>I have to factor in how much presence the background deserves, the degree then that halftones in the values will have their presence felt.<BR/><BR/>I then basically mix up my three or four piles of paint, and then paint very directly.<BR/><BR/>If I want a reddish undertone for additional affects of luminosity...I'll apply that with turps (lean) and then direct over that. Hope that helps..!!Larry Seilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553436656150515023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20638302.post-1158214533263362002006-09-13T23:15:00.000-07:002006-09-13T23:15:00.000-07:00With the idea/concept in mind, premixing thecolor....<I>With the idea/concept in mind, premixing the<BR/>color...using the largest brush one can use,<BR/>these work out with a particular ease and<BR/>charm.</I><BR/><BR/>Indeed they do.<BR/>I would like to know a little more aboute your concept/idea of that premixing. <BR/><BR/>Wonderfull work, ..... !!René PleinAirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368603005553165550noreply@blogger.com
