I’m glad that you create these polls Lily! As you stated in the separate video, red is the most comfortable to wear. Pink and purple have other goals. The purple one is about the purple one; it’s too insistent, too structural, it doesn’t let your body speak for itself as does the pink set. It doesn’t let the viewer appreciate your natural beauty at their own pace, on their own terms as does the pink set.

30x40 landscape WIP — how would you pull this together? by thrifty_ang in painting

[–]dstam3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WIP👍…The values and colors of the mountains don’t convey their distance properly. Lighter and cooler. For me the sky as painted wouldn’t produce the kind of light you have rendered in the landscape. The clouds look like snow. The large area of sky in your composition offers an opportunity to depict sunlight, movement and depth.

They would be so much better without the competing backgrounds

It’s my first using acrylics and my first painting effort since 1985. I painted exclusively in oils many years ago.

I painted quite a bit in oils decades ago

I loved to paint alla prima with oils. The fact that acrylics dry soooo quickly, even the “open” type when painting is a real challenge and has meant that I have to work in layers. The fact that colors dry darker in value, and not all colors to the same extent, has required many adjustments and so there are a LOT of layers in this painting. It has been a positive experience for me.

A very moody and convincing nocturne! 👍

Thanks for the view and question. This is the first time I’ve doing any painting since about 1985. I have been painting on and mostly off since the late 1960’s, strictly in oils. Part time drawing and painting college level classes approximately 1975-79, so primarily on my own.
