Some Yellow




I was getting a big hungry for brighter colors than the past two paintings and thus the sunflowers. I haven't named them yet, but I certainally put some bright color to the canvas! It was a sunny day outside and in. I read in one of the blogs I follow that it is good to just put the color to the canvas, don't draw with either pencil or line brush, just paint. So, I tried that with this 8x10 acrylic canvas wrap. It felt a little intimidating at first, but then it seemed easier to get into the body this way. I try to paint with as large a brush as I feel comfortable, so this one was done with a 1". I also picked up a new yellow the other day (Diarylide Yellow by Golden) that made it easier to get the different yellows. My newest green is Green Gold by Golden. I have found that Golden has the viscosity that I need for the work I do. It keeps its body longer than any other brand I use, so it is back to Golden paints.

Thanks Dean, I find that the largest brush you are comfortable with has the best results, if staying loose is the target goal! And, welcome to my blog... And, Susan, I'm glad you found the blog...hope you can visit again!
