#707 and 708 of 1001, Two Sunsets

August 29, 2019 | Whitt’s End Art

Two views of the same 6×9 inch acrylic painting. The top one is scanned in which gives it a darker feel. The bottom one was taken with and iPad so it has more of a real feel of what the picture actually looks like. These are smaller renderings I am playing with for a much larger 24 x72 inch painting I’m going to do. More samples coming soon.

3 Reasons I Like To Use A Limited Palette Challenge

April 27, 2019 | Whitt’s End Art

I am the type of artist who likes to use color in my paintings. In fact the brighter the better. However there are times when I enjoy limiting my palette to just several colors. Here are three reasons why.

1. I love the challenge. A little palette of colors offers more of a challenge in order to to create a finished a painting.

2. The outcome is dramatic. In the end the outcome is more dramatic. This is the reason I like black and white Ansel Adams photographs.

3. Less colors I have to fuss over. A limited palette means you have less colors to use but you need more of your muse in order to create a finished work of art.

Take the limited palette challenge. It is very rewarding.
