I used pinks and reds for the base layer. When I add the next layer of more accurate colors to the sky, trees and lake, the bright pink/red will glow subtley through. This creates a sense of light in the painting.
I won't be returning to the reservoir for another week or so, so I will finish this little painting at that time.
"Sunrise 7 (part 1)" - Acrylic on paper.
I like the pinks. . .and asparagus!! yum!! I have never grown anything. How is that possible? I was writing poems....
ReplyDeleteI turn to the right
ReplyDeletelooking east in the world
for the west of my body
the sky curves out of my head
to the northwest
the southwest rusts at my back
until the light comes up
I turn to the south
I drop the front of myself
back into the north
