| Look at Daddy acrylic and ink on paper 4 x 6 inch available here |
This week the theme was mother and child and all of these were inspired by a collection of vintage photos that were kindly gifted to me some time ago. Painting children is a challenge and these small 4 x 6 inch works made it that much harder because the faces are teeny tiny. I have found that I try to paint with more detail when I am working with photos vs using my imagination, which is a crazy mission for such a small space. I won't be doing this too often.

I used the same colors for all three works. It always amazes me how many different colors you can come up with. Lately I've been mixing 2 yellows, 2 reds, 2 blues, with white, paynes gray, brown, and one or two "fun" colors like a magenta or orange of some sort. I also used titan buff in these. Titan buff and a bright red make the prettiest pinks by the way.

Don't know how you do it my friend. xox
ReplyDeleteYou captured sweetness in each one. How lovely. And such patience to work in that size!
ReplyDeletethese are charming as can be.
ReplyDeletei would think that this much detail in 4x6 would be entirely challenging!
It truly is and it strains the eyes. I am not sure why I do this to myself. :)
DeleteThank you Tammie!
Funny about the difference with painting from photos versus painting from imagination. The photo is just so tempting!
ReplyDeleteSpecial, small works! You know I am a fan of the limited palette concept. I think you can get every color that you want:)

PS-and I love titan buff from Golden. A very useful non color color!
"...non color color" I love that Libby!
DeleteSweet and tender paintings , I am quite amazed at how detailed you succeeded in making these small works ! Wishing you a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteA lovely theme and I love the colour palette too.
ReplyDeleteI like them all. and love the titles.
ReplyDeleteYou should enter some of the Miniature Shows. Anyone who can get this much details on a such small size is a magician They are wonderful.
Hope the cabinets turned out great.
Thank you Julie. The cabinets are still in progress. It will probably be another month before I finish. I am taking my time because the job is HUGE.
DeleteWonderful painting and very beautiful colours !!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice and creative week !!!
These pieces are all so sweet, but also a bit sad. Maybe it's the color combinations, which I love!
ReplyDeleteLisa, these are all so precious! I love the colour and the details! Big Hugs!
