Oil on 5x7 gessoed hardboard.There's something about this strange color palette that I like. The hot neon pink on the child was strange but I'm glad that I used it. Th dark deep green is a choice I've never used for an ocean before, but I'm glad I used it. Same goes for using a sky that dark blue for a sunny beach scene. I'm pretty used to a new choice working it's way into a painting occasionally, but this bugger's full of 'em. What fun!

ReplyDeleteHi Don. Thanks for stopping by and the kind words. I'll always appreciate your opinion.
ReplyDeleteTotally Dig the use of Neon Pink! it's perfect.
ReplyDeletequestion - 1.is it oil or an acrylic sneak-in. 2.if it is oil, did you mix it yourself or procure it. 3.if you procured it, where did you find it. I have been looking for a similar color for a project I am working on and cannot find it. thanks. Russell in Texas
Hi, Russell...This is oil. I mixed it using Thio Violet, a touch of Utra. Blue, and Permalba White. The first two colors are Grumbacher Pre-tested Oils...the white is Weber. Hope this helps on your project. :)
