FOUND
A NEW HOME IN GORINCHEM, the
Netherlands
Part of my teaching program "HOW
TO
MAKE YOUR
CANVASES POP" is painting a
diptych with lots of texture.
Hover over the painting with the quick-
zoom
feature to see all the details and textures
in
this diptych (2 times 12x12 inches) box
canvas!
If
you're
interested to know
how to paint your own,
I invite you
to take
a series
of classes
at OLGarts Studio!
I will teach you with a powerpoint
presentation
the series of steps necessary to get
your
own
stunning result .
I'll teach my art students how to use different heavy and light TEXTURES
in their (abstract collage) artwork.
I'll teach
you
how
to skillfully use texture(s)
to create
contrast, stimulating the senses,
to
give a
composition both unity and variety.
(The "road" is a piece of silk!)
About the colors: I decided to
give
this diptych a metal look and used for
shades
in the complementary colors of gold:
That could be green or blue/purple.
I choose for the colder blues and
purple since the gold and copper are
very rich and hot colors.
Then I
painted the sides black and it's
ready to be hung.
I'm very content with the end result
of this diptych!
