"Diluted Color" ($30.00)

(adjusted price....$30.00)

"Diluted color transforms tension into calmness." I would guess that most viewers would look at this piece and assume I've lost my mind since the color does not appear to be diluted.  The idea is to draw attention to the fact that color has a hugh impact on our environment. Take time to notice the colors in your life today.

Complementary colors are directly opposite each other on the color wheel. They can be mixed together to the point where gray is achieved. That can be seen in this piece. Each of these two colors can knock down the intensity and fully satisfy the eye that always searches for the complementary color.

The Phthalo Blue (Red Shade) in this piece is very intense. It is a bright, intense blue that's very dark when used thickly. Used as a thin glaze it's very transparent. Mixed with white it's an opaque, beautiful sky blue.

This piece was created with Liquitex Pouring Medium and pigment, but on this occasion, I diluted the mixture a bit more with water which created more blending of the colors together rather than being suspended in the medium. There are many different ways to create with Pouring Medium. Just something else to think about.

Please contact me personally to inquire about this piece.
