#6 of the challenge. I love painting birds. I started out using indanthrone blue and so a lot of the top colors have the blue mixed in to some degree (like the last several paintings). I think it gives unity/harmony throughout a painting, and also provides some unknown results depending on the degree of dryness and how much mixes in. I am pulling out the oils now and will use this technique with oils-a whole different thing.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri!
DeleteLaurie, I love Indanthrone Blue - I like how you used it throughout the painting. These birds have attitude!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie..yes, I love the color, too. I just bought a new tube, so watch out!
Delete1. Never knew Indanthrone Blue existed till now!
ReplyDelete2. I almost succumbed to getting clothes out of the drier but then I thought, Wait! I can go see what Laurie has painted up for me!
3. One of your gifts: the ability to create a simple unfussy composition/scene with all sorts of visual interest softly embedded—a field day of fun for me to explore!
Dotty, you're something else! Thanks for the wonderful words.
DeleteYour birds are so stylish! They are my favorite subject that you paint! Did not know that blue name either, have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteDon't encourage me on the birds, Pattie(ha)....I could easily do only birds. I love it!
DeleteI think we should rename it "Mueller Blue." You did it AGAIN, Laurie!
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear friend!
DeleteGreat piece. I look forward to seeing your work in oils with this method.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Val..Oils soon. I'm just gearing up for the messiness I seem to make!
