Second
Week In Orange, Now Red
This
morning was the second week “R” modeled in the same pose for the Independent
Painters Group. I painted her from a different vantage point in the studio, in
acrylics this time.
My
first pass on her orange dress was with red paint. I never did get back before
the pose ended to add the orange highlights. Last weeks watercolor attempt is a
much better painting of her dress color.
16”x
20” acrylic on canvas pad

I like the color palette in this, but I would have liked to see more depth and shadow in the dress. This woman looks my aunt Joanne when she was a young woman. I've never seen a painting that reminds me of someone I once knew!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments, btw. And for answering my carefully wrought questions:)
The woman in this weeks painting doesn’t look a lot like “R”. I was closer last week in the watercolor version. If this looks like a younger version of your aunt, I am pleased.
DeleteThank you
It does, and I miss her greatly. This made me happy even though it can't be her. It seems as if it could be! I hear we all have a twin. Perhaps this is so.
DeleteI think we do.
DeleteVibrant combination of colors...though looks differently than first one...
ReplyDeleteI agree. Last week does look more washed out.
Deletegosh Anthony all the colours are so extraordinary the mix makes this incredibly vibrant
ReplyDeleteI did throw a lot of paint around near the end of this one.
DeleteThank you
I so love the brilliance of this one, Anthony!
ReplyDeleteSuch vibrant colours...not only her dress, but all those wonderful background hues too.
It all works perfectly together...this is absolutely mesmerizing...:)
The background was sort of last minute, more desperation than brilliance.. I was running out of time.
DeleteI love the colors in this one, so alive!
ReplyDeleteThank you
