"Tangerines on Turquoise"....and Tons of Teaching!

 
 "Tangerines on Turquoise"
10 x 10 inches, oil on canvas
Sold

July was a whirlwind month, busy and full. This painting was a demo I did for students in Portland, over a two-day period. Here's my palette - heavy on the red-oranges. I really wanted to emphasize the red glow that reflects back and forth when oranges cuddle up together, and those saturated contrasting colors on the oranges and the plate.

 

...And this, believe it or not, is some of the student work from that class! What a talented bunch - not beginners. They did great.

What especially knocks me out is the perfection of form and those lovely half-tones. Another inimitable Sarah painting -- lovely!
