This is the start of an exercise in push and pull. I will layer on colors using 3 paint edges- hard edge, soft edge and a palette knife edge. It will be interesting to see how the same color reacts with each base color .
Understanding the concepts of colors and how they relate based on where they are in the painting and what they are next to is more work than I thought….. sometimes not thinking and just letting the canvas and colors guide you is easier….but understanding relationships certainly contributes to finishing the story.
Taking a still life and turning it into an abstract…….its a start. Maybe I will understand this concept at the end of class………
Starting a new art class today at The Art School at Laguna Gloria……Painting like Hans Hofmann………
