In Wednesday's watercolor class (teacher: Kathy Delumpa Allegri), we practiced negative painting using only three colors, all of which were warm in temperature. I used Daniel Smith Phthalocyanine Blue, Pyrrol Scarlet, and Qor Indian Yellow.
For the first painting I stayed pretty abstract. With the second, I paid more attention to where the colors were going, and built up on the negative spaces rather than just carving out more pumpkins.

These are both very pretty, but I really love the colors in the first one!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It shows how much brighter the colors are if you leave them as pure as possible. I used the same colors in both, but glazed over all of them with the pumpkins, where I left large areas pure with the pears.
