Pink Lady, Farmer’s Market Santa Monica, oil, 8 x 10, $200
I caught this woman at the market. I liked her hat, the flowers, the citrus stand…but what it’s ultimately about is the contrast of the guy in sun vs. the woman just getting a touch of it on her hat. It’s challenging to make the bright colors seem like they are in shadow. Here’s my process if you’re interested:
Drawing Stage
First, I used sky blue acrylic to tone the board. Then I drew in the basic composition with ochre.
Block In
Here’s where the tone really helps–I like it already…and it’s hard to keep going with it without losing the freshness.
