About Me
- Larry Seiler
- Enculturation imbued with print media & tv means we live in a 2nd reality, one the lens sees. Lifeless shadows, static detail rank accurate to life. My renaissance from 20 years in studio came after taking my paints outdoors. Several things happened- I saw color as only an artist can see, (painting being the deeper way of seeing); I was overwhelmed with all to be worked out in short order; thirdly, that taunt of a feeling I knew nothing of painting! Such would send many back to the pretense of the familiar, but I’m not good hiding from myself that which I’m not able to succeed. By right…I should be able to paint outdoors, and was going to do this were it to kill me. Kill me it did! So complete was that death, I could no longer aspire to paint as artists I had admired. Their works now lifeless, labored, detailed, realistic, yes...but no sense of REAL'ness. I wish I had started nature’s schooling much younger, but lives are like books. Not one chapter stuck to one narrative. Life can be filled with many chapters. It can have interesting twists and new directions, and I say go for it! *See my book on landscape painting, and new DVDs available thru “Books & Videos” at larryseiler.com

I have been reading Kevin MacPherson's latest book and he suggests an alternative using Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, and Black as the primaries. I haven't tried it yet, but thought it produced an interesting earth tone result. (He likes a simple palette, as you may know.)
yep...familiar with Kevin's palette experiments...having a couple of his books. I've also seen some working with Raw Sienna, Umber, black and white to some great results.
Today...an artist mentioned that Zorn's palette including black had more blue in the black pigment in his day than today. So, I may experiment adding some blue to black...
its all fun.
thanks for the comment, James!
