A touch of orange in my blue sky mixture. A touch of red/violet into my green grass or tree mixture and a touch of yellow into my purples just to make them easier on the eye. The more practice and color knowledge you accumulate, the more you will understand how this works. It takes nothing away from saturated color. It just makes it less garish.Mary Sheehan Winnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739304038978908921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942797782549905187.post-89595857692170805612011-11-02T05:11:01.708-04:002011-11-02T05:11:01.708-04:00So lovely and so evocative, Susan.

Love that one of your students pointed out what might be your issue with your sky versus iris dilemma. Sometimes just a fresh eye helps. Your words on color and your description of fine art were wonderfully enlightening to me as well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942797782549905187.post-17646607492178394092011-11-02T00:25:59.042-04:002011-11-02T00:25:59.042-04:00Ma chère Susan, tu sais que j'affectionne part...Ma chère Susan, tu sais que j'affectionne particulièrement tes paysages avec ta flore...<br />Les couleurs sautillent telles des notes de musique.<br />Gros bisousmartinealisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055152925986659065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942797782549905187.post-15944337161844979602011-11-01T21:04:05.166-04:002011-11-01T21:04:05.166-04:00This is a jewel of a painting--I've looked sev...This is a jewel of a painting--I've looked several times.hw (hallie) farberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636182620056350811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942797782549905187.post-82030664828678464702011-11-01T13:16:07.073-04:002011-11-01T13:16:07.073-04:00That's a tough one but it looks like you'r...That's a tough one but it looks like you're pulling all that lovely work together just fine.
