Sally Evans You know the feeling you get when you walk into the paint section of a home improvement store and see all those wonderful paint color palette chips on display, beautifully lit and perfectly aligned in a flowing unison of current. True Euphoria.
I want you to go back to the days before the internet existed. Remember when we all had to go to libraries and museums to learn about art. I do. I also remember coming back to certain artist time and again and studying what made their work spectacular and so appealing. One thing they all had in common was the mastery of color and using it in unexpected ways. Our next challenge will be a self portrait. Our last self portrait challenge Genesis only allowed the use of 1 color. This time I want you to hit every major stop on the color wheel and find an expressive way to use it in your self portrait. Too often I find artist struggling with portaiture. A common mistake I've noticed is that the paint is overworked and the colors are drab. Your skin no matter your ethnicity has a rainbow of color. Another MAJOR RULE for this self portrat is that you must USE A MIRROR and NOT a photo. DO NOT PRINT OUT AN IMAGE OF YOURSELF AND PAINT OVER IT. We are a group of Fine Artist. All paintings should at the very least have ROY G BIV found in them. The intensity and values are in your control. The deadline for this challenge is September 29th 7pm eastern time.
Show me some color!
