30 PAINTINGS IN 30 DAYS -- DAY 25


#25                       The Web                             Mixed Media

Provided by former student and current musician, Will, today's Posted Palette offered a real challenge -- grey, black, violet and Navy blue.  This painting combined pastel pencil, collage and acrylic paint and required the use of lots of glazing (layers of thin, transparent paint) in order to keep the web-like pattern of the collage in the background.  Since all of the colors were cool, I warmed up some of the greys to offset the sombre cool tones.  When the challenge is over, it might be fun to return to some of these pieces and paint the same magnolia in a different palette.  (Maybe another challenge at a later date?)
What's one word you would use to describe the "mood" of this piece?


All of these works are 5 x 7" and available for $20 each.  Please comment below with the Title/number you wish to purchase.  Proceeds will be added to our donation for Hurricane Relief.  Numbers 3 and 6 have been sold.
