Chilean Peaches

I am still working with cloth trying to capture the folds and creases.  I used a cerulean blue half tone which was cool against the warm reds and oranges of the peaches.  The exercise for this painting was to create a warm palette of colors using tints and half tones to create a warm rather than hot palette.  I carried a little of the warm colors into the fabric to create a nice harmony and a little glow.  I am pleased that I am learning a little more about how to use color.

I just read all the posts about mixing colors and wonder how watercolor could be used in this way . The color you mixed a beautifully and clearly more complex than color s right from any tube. I also see a rich consistency that
adds to the volume of the folds.

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
