Today I was in the mood for red and tulips.
"The most important aspects of a painting is VALUE and DESIGN. These two trump colour, texture etc." Nicholas Wilton
Value is essentially the lightness and darkness of a colour. The correct use of value gives a painting (both abstract and representational) depth.
I must admit, because I use a lot of colour, the values can sometimes go awry and I have to always be very conscious of that. So getting more of a grip on this, is my goal for this aspect of the course.
The second assignment of the Art2Life course, was to create two boards using only black and white. I based one on one of my failed paintings to see where I could make improvements and the other was purely abstract.
This one still exists as shown, I have yet to put colour on it
The first one, received some limited palette colour:
I have not taken this one forward and I shall have to find it again in my pile of unfinished boards. I can see it is too busy (so obvious now) and it needs to be unified.
