Still poking around... just haven't been up to posting. As usual lots of projects going.... working on color, PYHAS 2019 has started, 3 large (for me) paintings one for my daughter and one for Noam and Amir. Have yet to get reference photo for Amir.
Somehow I get painters block when doing paintings for others, a sort of loss of freedom. Have to get around that but it's difficult. It doesn't look the reference, not the right colors etc. Anyone with a good formula!
I signed up for Color My Life 2018 by Kellee Wynne, which she offered for free. Never can get enough about color. I made 2 color wheels and plan on several more. Good therapy!
The first was an earthy palette. Indian Red Prussian Blue Naples Yellow Deep
The second is what she calls a Modern Wheel based on the CYMK colors the printer uses.
Had to improvise with the colors I had. Used Cadmium Yellow Light, Alizarin Crimson, and Primary Blue (name on the tube). Interesting for me was the red-orange which is close to Cad Red and the Blue purple which looks like a real blue. leftover paints made great neutrals!
Both wheels used oil paints on paper. Any three of the primaries can be used for a wheel.

Now to do some of the exercises she has for all the colors!
