Hi Tina, Red Scarf is gorgeous. Is that a red underpainting peeking through the violet/indigo? It appears to me on my screen like a crimon underpaint with cadmium in the scarf and three maybe four tones of dark. Looks beautifully warm and snuggly, did you know it had turned cooler here in the UK and we needed something to warm ourselves up - thank you :)
ReplyDeletethanks, Lisa...it is cooling off here, too, which is probably why this image appeared!
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, just a few minutes ago I was looking at photos on the screen of paintings with a lot of red and thinking that it looks like the red is shining through...I have not been very successful with getting the reds to reproduce the way they actually look...
I am not using cadmiums any more because of their toxicity...have switched to cadmium hues...however, this red is a combo of a Napthol Scarlot and a Napthol Crimson with I think a bit of lemon yellow....have to mess around a bit to get the intensity of cadmium...the red is layered on an acrylic ground which is a couple of layers of Payne's Gray and Dioxazine Purple...
....interesting... I always forget how blue paynes grey is - looks lovely with the diox purple. The reds you've used seem to vibrate against it. Thank you for sharing.
