Here's a complementary colour experiment in orange and blue 🧡💙 after Vermeer. Of course, there is no way to get a full spectrum with such limitations. Nevertheless, I find it fascinating to attempt to recreate the relationship of colours and values in this way. Happy Monday!

Here’s one from last year. 🧄
I made this to comfort myself as I was discouraged by the state of world. Little did I know… It was done with Amy Weiskopf beautiful paintings in mind. Look up her work! She doesn’t have an account here. A wise woman.

Red still life, oil on panel, 45 x 45 cm. The question here was "what if I made a painting with only reds and white without making it look monochromatic?"

Here’s another pear painting. Getting back into colour experiments by using a colour triad I’m less familiar with, WN Indian yellow, Rembrandt Madder brown and OH Delft blue and white. It creates a warm harmony to which I added a little cadmium lemon at the end to aid the chroma on the ribbon.

A view of Government House, Yarralumla, in Canberra Australia. Watercolour on Fabriano CP. Happy with how the sky came out, and learning the more I do this.
