I have had a few questions about my colour palette recently. My current palette is alizarin crimson, cadmium red, cadmium yellow, lemon yellow, raw sienna, ultramarine and cobalt blue. I always add a speck of black to each colour, Manet called black the ‘Queen of colours’ and I love the way it gives such a richness to the palette and unifies it. I then use white to mix with the colours only in the 3rd layer to create a more opaque colour.
‘Colour helps to express light, not the physical phenomenon,but the only light that really exists, that in the artist’s brain’ Henri Matisse
I need to get my tech brain working today and spend some time updating my website.
I often get asked this, Why do you underpaint?
From large 1m x1m painting to these small 15cm x15cm. I love the change it really makes me focus on different skills. My challenge is to get a series of small paintings completed as studies for some larger pieces, but I’m rather enjoying them and may just keep these as a small series.
Painting the whites has been an enjoyable challenge. I mixed a variety of warm and cool whites using the warms for the lit plane and cool for the shadow. It’s surprising how dark you need to go for the shadows!
