"Color my happy landscape with turquoise and fushcia." We are all affected by color, positively or negatively. That's why a good interior designer is worth their weight in gold. The right proportion of color in the right saturation can make or break an environment. May this happy color combination brighten your day. (Another piece created for a give away this Friday.....(http://www.pactofaustion.com/)
There are only two colors in this piece, but the mingling of the two plus the first layer of randomly applied gesso yield several more tints and tones.
When experimenting with color, technique comes marching into the process. Several questions will help with the experimentation process. What happens when the color is applied on dry paper?..on very wet paper?...or slightly damp paper? What happens when painting over gesso?...over unprimed paper? What happens when another color is painted over the previous color while it is still wet? What happens when the first layer is completely dry and then painted over with a different color?
Questions like these will yield a working knowledge of any color combination you might want to try. Just something to think about.
Beautiful work!
