This is my painting with base colors of Gray, Violet, Flesh, Dark Purple Brown and Cadmium Red on the Bag. Plus a dark value for the shadow. I mixed a Grayed down color of Yellow for the base in the background.
12" x 12" Oil on Canvas SOLD The challenge today was to paint RED ! How many reds in the paint world are there! Well I think a lot!!!!! I had at least 6 tubes out ........the transparent of the skin was the hardest to get.....I love the yummy reds against the cools of the table cloth. I added a little light green, but it didn't show up in the photograph. This painting is much better than the picture.... you can't see the impressionist colors juxtapose together. Anyone doing the challenge can't help but get better......what fun! Thanks Leslie!
Started my new year off really great.....fell on the ice after watching Ohio State win the Rose Bowl.....broke my leg in two places!!! #@$%^!@### (stone sober, it would make it go down better if I had had a few) We had to delay our trip back to Florida....hope to get down there in the next couple of weeks........
All I can say is WOW! David A. Leffel did a demo at Longboat Key Art Center, this was the third day of his workshop.......couldn't afford it, but just couldn't miss seeing the master at work. It was wonderful, he is the best! Also I purchased his book (out of print from 2003) from Gallery M in Sarasota, they had one of his paintings. So I got it signed and he was just a gem......thanked me for coming and purchasing his book. I've had the opportunity to see several pieces in Galleries out west and let me tell you they are just awesome!!! This has made my year!!!
