Interesting about the color blue. I have decided to pretty much wear blue. Especially the indigo, perwinkle hues. They are the color of my eyes. I also wear a blue magician crystal at my throat. It's a man made crystal. If you are interested in seeing it I can give you the website address.
I love to paint with thalo blue, cerulean blue, naples yellow, yellow ochre, rose madder, raw umber, and sienna.
I painted a diptych: one side had the back of a woman standing and her head turned to the side. she was nude.
I saw all these colors in her skin and as the light changed so did the colors. I held to my palette and she ended up looking slightly bruised but (not butt) luscious too. The other canvas was the same background as behind the woman absent the woman. The challange with this is to keep the viewer interested in both canvases looking from one to the other in equal measure. I painted all of the brush strokes from left to right in three colors. Top 1/3rd was a changing color of muted cobalt blue . There is an inch of hot pink line. the bottom 3/4ths was a muted thalo blue.I paint what I see. I have always been in awe of people who can paint from their imagination.
Okay I must know are you left or right handed?
