Painting 33

COMPOSITION TACTICS: (painting ref. PO618)  

Painting inspired by photographs:

I search photographs thru internet, then I use photoshop deciding which elements to keep or discard.-  get to know the subject with lots of sketching, and finally start painting from what feels right to tell a story.

For this particular painting , I start with scrubbed-on color washes to keep edges soft in order to have certain amount of luminosity  and a sense of distance, then I build paint thicker on top

Opaque paint on top of transparent warm colors come forward and cool colors go back

Brushstrokes are added with rhythm to go with the flow its important the direction

Pick out some subjects to focus and suggest the rest

Planes should be clear with properly perspective, opaque "clear " paint over dark transparent paint to contrast shadow áreas
