Acrylic Adventure
While I catch up on showing you my newest paintings, I've been trying to improve on my color mixing skills. A painting can be completely abstract or even downright ugly, but if the colors work together, and they are captured correctly, it will catch your eye. I used to be so focused on the technical aspect of painting, like brush strokes, and glazing, but I could never capture a scene or photo the way I wanted. Turns out that I needed to learn how to truly understand color. I had been missing the big picture, no pun intended, on how colors work together in a composition, from reflections, and lighting, to knowing that shadows are definitely not just black.

Just a note on this painting. I am aware that some of you might notice the skewed perspectives and angles that aren't in line, but this was entirely on purpose......I think.
