I used to like to place a very dark colour next to the light. I now graduate colours so that darks are softer. The lightest part of the painting is often painted palest cream and the amount of white in a sky is less a pure white and more a cream or rose white. I hope that explains things better. It can be hard to find the right words to discribe a painting process.Caroline Simmillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598525698486576546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-13186103350391235302011-04-22T18:13:39.140-04:002011-04-22T18:13:39.140-04:00Hi Caroline..how do you mean," the colours si...Hi Caroline..how do you mean," the colours sit together gently and the light brings the contrast together. Thanks too for mentioning the final glaze method of harmonizing colors.

I am back to finishing a painting by adding a final glaze of perhaps one or up to three colours which are transparent to give the harmony to the painting.Caroline Simmillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598525698486576546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-88053872735273015132011-04-21T17:42:57.083-04:002011-04-21T17:42:57.083-04:00Hi Donna,

I am happy that the words that help me each day can help someone else.<br />Loriannloriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-87440353724385432902011-04-21T14:46:58.162-04:002011-04-21T14:46:58.162-04:00Loriann, you are sharing some valuable information...Loriann, you are sharing some valuable information! Two words from today's post hit me (in a good way!): "you choose." I realize that I must give much more thought to the color scheme and not just obediently paint what I see. Harmony doesn't just happen on its own. Thank you!Donna Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129186863757507990noreply@blogger.com
