| 4 Barns, Acrylic, 8x8" each Click to Bid |
When you get the value structure right, you can plug in all sorts of feisty colors. I took a photo of a barn, did a 3 value sketch of it and then played with color. It's fun - and addictive - to take an image and spin it off into many color schemes.
Speaking of color schemes, my latest book, "Color Theory - An essential guide to color - from basic principles to practical applications" arrived today in the mail. It looks great, if I say so myself. The publisher did a fabulous job keeping the colors accurate. It was quite an undertaking - I created over 60 paintings and numerous color charts, diagrams, color wheels and more. The only paintings that were not mine were my husband's - 3 oil portraits illustrating Asian, light and dark-skinned Black flesh tones. It's a real treat to see the final published book. Hmmm, I think a celebration is in order...something bubbly!

Congratulations on your new book!
When and where can we get the book? This is a great post. And a great exercise! Thanks for sharing.
hey, thanks you guys! the book is available on amazon and there is a link in the post. i also put a "widget" on the right hand side you you can click on it and go right to amazon. you can also click inside to see some pages, but i noticed they don't show "the good stuff", mostly just the charts and diagrams...
I love these color fields. I was lucky to get a preview of the book so I know that it's stuffed full of handy info about color that's great for both oil and acrylic painters.
It's a must have for your art library!
Just ordered it on Amazon! The color field concept is an endless source of surprise. It'll be great to expand it with your insights, Patti. Thanks and best of luck. -- Thank you Bruce for sharing : )
