So I just thought I would share a little bit about what I am making today. The thinking might relate to something you are working on too.
As many of you know, I am a big proponent of understanding value contrast.
When there is big differences in value, however, it can make the differences of color feel less by comparison.
The other cool idea that I tried that has really helped this busy little painting, is using the differences of complexity. In other words, having open areas as well as busy areas.
Once I opened up this design, the work became a lot stronger.
Of course this idea is hard to just write about so to have a look below, and let me know in the comments if you can relate to these ideas.
I hope your year is starting off great….
I decided at the last minute to do a 60 day clean diet challenge where most of what I love to eat and drink won’t be around for awhile…
But I figure this will give me so much energy that I will be able to make a ton more art!
What things are you going to do differently this year?
Let us all know in the comments below.
I hope this first Sunday of 2020 is fabulous!
