Gorgeous, and with such sparkle. "But one day, face to face."
ReplyDeleteYes! Face to face! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, your work is astounding! I've been studying your orange slices...may I ask how you mixed the orange colors with such luminosity and intensity? I spent an evening trying to duplicate it with many different reds and yellows and mine were all dull. How did you make the orange meat look backlit? Thanks
ReplyDeleteAlso when mixing a saturated color you need to make sure it is clean. Especially not the tiniest bit of white in it. And artist quality paint. Not student grade.
DeleteHi Karen, thank you for your comment. For the luminous orange I mis Utrecht Cad Yellow light and Utrecht cad red light. But it probably has more to do with getting the value and temperature of the white in shadow correct. The cool dark “white” and the rind in shadow make the contrast needed to get that glow. I hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I was thinking something like that, but it's easier said than done. I will keep practicing1
