"Beach Time" (4x4") - 201213
Contemporary
subject; classical colors. I wanted to break out a little bit, tone
things down from the last few posts. Again (like in the Skinny Dipping
paintings-sexy nude), I was wary of this piece being pigeonholed into a genre (cutesy mother, child)
taking away from any merits it might have as just a painting. I really
love working with very dark darks - the transparent ones. Sap green,
alizarin crimson & ultramarine blue. Mixed together, they create
succulent colors. I had been trying out the M. Graham oils for a
while. Very good quality pigment that has walnut oil for the medium.
Not to mention very nice tube openings and tops. I thought it might cut
down on the amount of walnut oil I use when I'm mixing my paint. But it
didn't. Also, as much as I wanted the brand to work, it was just too
pasty for me. I'm back to the good old Winton & Georgian
brands. These are student grade, but in my opinion, the best for what I
do.
