I've also been toning panels with my scraps...I used a muted olive one yesterday....I like it for quick studies. What I always liked about palette knife painting...no scraps. <br /><br />I went online today, researching Turner...my library is in storage...it's been a lifetime since I've even thought about impressionists...yesterday I looked up Monet. On Turner I found something that caught my attention...he apparently did a lot of nocturne painting...moons and so on. He used black and a lot of it...I saw one quote "if I could find a colour blacker than black I'd use it" once I saw this one particular painting...I put it together. He painted on a black canvas using primarily glazes to get an iridescent luminosity. From my deck I get the Moon :=))) I have to admit the guy took painting on black velvet to a whole new level! It's also possible this painting was en Plein Air. The point of the story....black might be fun:=)))chuck lariveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14635991335890084097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058088542188227419.post-27957690481031749372009-07-04T14:11:58.786-04:002009-07-04T14:11:58.786-04:00Yellow, orange, purple...wonderful color combinati...Yellow, orange, purple...wonderful color combinations...bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933344957466744104noreply@blogger.com
