"Spooky" 6 x 6 Oil on Gessobord Click Here to Purchase Painting |
So I was presented with the challenge of this little white pumpkin this morning. Do I paint it off white and yellow, or do I really push the colors and experiment. I feel like I don't really experiment enough and try to keep my oil paintings safe....so we went with the experiment today.
I used the "posterize" feature in Photoshop and played with the level of shapes and colors. Sounds easy enough right? Just paint the shapes and colors you see. Wow...was I wrong. This is going to take some practice, but I think its a good challenge and will do more this way. I think in the end it will help my traditional little daily paintings.
