All of my previous attempts had a bit of everything, warm cool, vivid muted, dark light. So I was inspired by the example from the Q&A on Wednesday, where a student painted an orange square surrounded by cerulean blue, then muting the cerulean blue until it got quite dark as well. Well of course, I'm not as disciplined as that. I have done many colour swatches over the years. Now, I'm more eager to explore directly on the page.
So here is what I did instead. It meanders, just like my brain does. I tend to paint fairly vivid colours, in a median tonal range. I like routine, and I believe that how I paint reflects that. So it was fun to explore how things looked when I muted them and lightened them.
