Tag: color harmony

When producing work… Artistic rendering or draftmanship… Use distinct lines to create a composition straight away. Once the compositional direction is chosen, then bring forth the image. Next choose color harmony to complete the dynamics. Remember and never forget the image lives independently of the source. Once removed it is an independent spirit.
For color harmony take a small section of image making in your head. Use your intuition and move forward. Let the color imagery sink in. Trust your gut, because that is you as an artist. In that way all the colors stay harmonized. As support use any handmade color charts you’ve made from the colors in your palette.
If I am to quickly render the composition with a few precise lines, as if I am drawing and not painting, then a round bristle brush would be used, preferably one size larger than you think.
In all my painting I should be tackling the visual question, “I want something”. This is as much of a question as it is a statement with an action attached to it.
I’ve got to make those faces emotionally darker and melancholy … More broken… More broken.
