My color work...
My biggest fear has always been color. I think I have some decent color paintings, but the unity still remains a bit elusive. However, after viewing certain paintings of the old master's (Andre Zorn, Sargent) I saw they used a limited pallette of colors. I am now well into my second year of painting with Black, White, Cad. Red, and Yellow Ochre. The range of colors and simulated colors are amazing. I am just fascinated with the results of the great painters and I'm working hard to get the same results.
What it is teaching me is to use value and light more than color. When I am satisfied that I have a handle on it, I'll gradually expand my pallette.
