Keeping Your Painting Vibrant & Colorful

Wow, it is so hot here I can only assume my oils (which I haven't touched since last night) are eager to ooze out of their tubes.  It's really too hot to do anything tonight other than letting the fan blow warm air on me while I write.

I have no clue how I found this artist.  What I recall is that he has some interesting insights about mixing before painting on his blog.  This article is interesting and is making me think about mapping that out in my head a bit, so to speak.  Anyway, check it out.

And, thank you Rose.  I'm am always looking for new info to hopefully put into practice.

Be cool!

How we mix our palette

This is a VERY interesting article about using a limited palette and what you can come up with.  I did play around with the combinations and I was totally impressed.  Now if only I can remember them.  There are lots of other interesting posts on the blog.  Check it out.

Signing & Dating

Kind of an interesting article.  I never thought about the date thing.  Interesting.

The Artist's Daily site - cons

My problem with this site is that they hit my email with 'Daily' emails. I suppose you can tell them not to do that, though.
