"At the Beach" after Edward H. Potthast (4x4") - 201214
Hats
and umbrellas; umbrellas and hats... For whatever reason, they are a
challenge. More importantly, I want to discuss the inclusion of a black
person. Because everything I've painted up until now has been creamy
white folks. One of my husband's best friends is black. She asked me the
other day why I haven't ever including someone black. What can I say?
It was a terrific question! I have to tell on myself and say I just
never had the occasion to or even thought of it. Black skin has a
wonderful quality with MANY more variations in color and value than that
of white skin. From rich dark prussian blue hues, to light caramelly
tones, it offers lots of mixing fun!
