Blue Chair Study

 

Blue Chair Study

5" x 7" oil on board

The desire to paint is strong, but the time is limited, so I've been sneaking in some quick ones.  I've been looking at this guy's paintings, which have been stoking my desire...Still working with the Venitian Red, cadmium yellow light, blue black, plus a blue (phthalo blue in this case) palette, which is limited but versatile. 

We bought some new, "Pacific Blue," Adirondack chairs. My main focus was getting the blues right, but I didn't achieve my goal. I struggled with the highlights in particular. They are nowhere close to how they look in real life.  Note to self, try a tiny dot of lemon yellow mixed with titanium white and pthhalo blue for the highlights next time.
