This sketch was an exploration into how I can manipulate warm and cool light on a white object using a palette of just three colors. For me, this was so interesting as my eyes opened to more chroma on the subject and I felt my drawing/painting begin to search for using changes in chromatic planes to suggest value. This is a quality I believe is very tough to learn and teach. I am thrilled to be exploring this section of working with oils alone in my studio. More than ever, I am believing that color is so relative that personal exploration is the most sane way to learn about color. At the end of the day, no one sees what you see…..
