#colourmixing

Distorted forest I've had a few busy and stressful days due to school and deadlines, but I'm back and enetgized again! Lately I've been trying to find a way to mix colours properly so I get muted tones, because I love how magical they look. I was quite satisfied with how this pink/purple-ish colour turned out! I mixed dioxazine violet, permanent rose, Indian red, sap green and some payne's grey to make it to this colour. Depending on how dark/light I wanted to have it, I used more or less from one colour or the other. Mixing is a super fun process, especially since I'm getting less and less scares to experiment and therefore ruin my paper. Experimenting is part of the process of getting better and finding your 'own' style. It feels very relieving. Today I bought two colours from the Van Gogh muted colours series and I'm excited to try them! . . . #abstractpainting #abstractart #abstractlandscape #mutedwatercolours #duskwatercolours #mutedtones #watercolors #watercolourpainting #stillmanandbirndelta #stillmanandbirn #winsorandnewtonwatercolors #winsorandnewton #cotmancolours #colourmixing #artistofinstagram #paintingoftheday #instaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CAp2iOxH9aZ/?igshid=1ah2wti8d5h17

Floral Print Gecko acrylic on canvas 48 x 48 x 1.6 inches 2020 $10,000 CAD 🦎 Spring summer nights bring me back to my Floral Print Gecko, original and affordable prints available at saatchiart.com and Society6.com Painting also features the planets of the universe depicted as tiny marbles rolling around on the carpet. I love pastels and muted pastels also. How did I get the couch looking so lush? A combination of black and cyan then cyan then cyan and white, but not together! The trick is to keep the black and white from mixing together for they make a dull grey. The black deepens the the cyan, the white highlights it, and let pure cyan be the gentle moderator. #surrealism #popsurrealism #colourmixing #popsurrealist #surrealist #surrealistart #surrealist #surrealistpainting #geckoart #floralpainting #floralpattern #collectibleart #availableart #saatchiart #society6 #coolart #coolartwork #lisangart #pastel #mutedpastels #nighttime #theuniverse https://www.instagram.com/p/CPpFVm-ttKD/?utm_medium=tumblr
