Fresh Sliced Orange 6x6 oil on museum board
I bought some new colors in preparation for my
upcoming workshop with Ovanes Berberian in France
next month. Two new ones for me
were cad green and platinum violet. So I
picked my fresh oranges instead of lemons this
time to work with the color scheme.
I love orange, green, and purple together and lucky for
me it also happens to be a triadic color harmony.
About the purple- it has a more red bias than what
I usually use: carbazole violet. I did the
under painting with the platinum violet and you can
see it bleeding through on the bottom left.
I went over it with the carbazole violet
simply because it looked better to me and I liked it.
Do you have a favorite purple? Feel free to share!
Gorgeous!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bren! I really enjoy your blog and appreciate the comment.

ReplyDeleteThanks Susan!
ReplyDeleteThis triadic color harmony is a favorite of mine too Bruce...I love this painting, it's so fresh! I don't have a favorite purple because I usually make my own but have used cobalt violet and dioxazine purple in the past.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, thanks you for taking the time to comment! I think dioxazine is my fave.
