| 9x10 pastel and watercolor on Uart |
I once again began my underpainting with just a focus on temperature. Temperature sets the tone. Next, since I wanted a glow in the sky I fractured the color to make it vibrate. Fracturing color is something so easy to do with pastel. Keep within the same value range and choose different analogous colors, in small part, side by side. Voila! Vibration!
Now back to the studio.

Another great formula. Glad to hear you're out lurking at dawn again!
The color choices are a study in nice for me. The bold violet/red and green, but interdicted by the blue, blue/green.
Hi Loriann,
A beautiful painting! Wonderful harmony of colors,blues, greens, violets, yellow greens. The early morning light-once again you captured the atmosphere and a sense of place.
You go out to paint A.M.-I go out in the late afternoon catching the sun along the river.

Thanks Sam! It does feel great to be out there!
Hi Casey, It's my fun with warm /cool ~ you caught me!
Hi NJ,
That morning light is delicious.. but then again so is the late afternoon/early evening light of which you speak. Love them all..why choose? Thanks about the painting. Have fun out at the river!

You turn the most ordinary places into sites where light dances like magic! The violet in the cool greens is lovely and really makes the warm, sunlit greens of the trees stand out. I almost typed "sin-lit" and that's maybe a Freudian slip about how sinfully warm and luscious the green in the trees looks. Naughty to be so lovely before 7 am.
You are funny Kvan! Thanks for the boost!
