Studio Update: Catching you up.

It's been a very productive week this week with lots of painting happening.  I've had many things I've wanted to share with you on my blog, and I'm only now finding the time to do so (do you know how that is?) This post was originally called 'the difference in colour' and I was going to talk solely about what a huge difference the colour (tone, intensity and temperature) of a background makes to a portrait. However as I said, lots has happened in the studio since my last post so I've opted to do a quick photo with caption post to catch you up, we are mostly visual people after all, aren't we?

      Thank you Peggy, this is my first landscape, I wanted to try something different. I have in mind to do more. In comparison to portrait paintings they are quick and there is more room for playfulness and error.

    Congratulations on your win. I can see why you won, it is fabulous. I am amazed at the difference a background can make. The colour really does change the whole portrait. I will have to put more thought into my backgrounds in the future.

      Thanks Von, the landscape was lots of fun to do. I was very surprised myself at the difference the background colours made. There are so many subtle difference in colour in the skin tone and they are picked up or enhanced by the colours around them.
