Ref 858; Painting with light  ---- "The importance of the values"
Every painting has a range of values; darks, lights and middle tones, and value is the first way to express light in paintings, but I like to use exaggerations within this system, and explore the ways the light affects everything else after determine the light source you can start, the values on the contrary side disappearing into the mist, that´s way I lift painting with a toothbrush  or a paper napkin and additionally I added more white paint above or through out the Sharp dark lines until be satisfied     (over cold press paper)


                                    Ref 858.-   Be happy, be bright, be you
Ref 857 Rose Petals
Colour is divided into 3 PRIMARIES which are RED, YELLOW AND BLUE
By mixing these primaries , the SECONDARIES are produced - GREEN, ORANGE AND PURPLE
 I use to put primaries first to have the cleanest color
However, in practice it is not possible to obtain perfect primary colours and so it is useful to work with modified primary colours - one each side of the perfect primary on the colour wheel.
Therefore, the perfect red is replaced by two reds - a purpley red and an orangy red, I worked with the first blend toward the shadow zone

So from this, it can be seen that : -
1. the cleanest colour is obtained by mixing the two colours closest together on the colour wheel.
2. by adding the complementary colour , i.e. the third primary colour the mix can be grayed back.
3. warm colours produce warm mixes.

Each petal needs to be worked alone and  while is drying you can work in another separete from it
I do not use brush.-  just in the edge and then I tilt the paint to go downwards by itself and raising painting with a knife at the bottom, please if something wrong do not try to fix until become dry, otherwise the petals won´t work at all as i did by mistake in the left side of my painting over cold press paper

The wave and some areas were made with a syringe with two base colors; medium yellow and gray payne, preserving white tones with masking, with the technique of pouring paint and the help of the sponge brush and spray bottle to spread it accordingly
