I watched a YouTube video about
Hans Hoffman the other day.
He talks about the "push and pull" of
color.
That inspired me to paint this using a pattern of
made- up colors, but keeping them in the correct value.
I tried to "push and pull" the
warm and cool, dark and light.
Late Light
10 x 10
oil
This was a real stretch for me!
I'm working on being less literal in my paintings
and this is a great way to push myself.
A great exercise for a class.
NOTE:
Here it is on "levels" setting
(three values)
on the Value Viewer app.
If it works in three values,
chances are it will be a good painting.
"Value does all the work,
color gets all the credit."
Hell yeah!

I always get excited whenever I see you have a new post. Excellent examples of basic painting lessons that help you become a better painter. Thank you.
