1/10, a postponed free painting workshop at Art Love Salon.
Lead by Nahom Ghirmay, on colors.
He likes muted color. Paints the background first to set the tone.
Use only 4-5 colors, tunes the color down by comproment color, adds volumn by white.
We were then encouraged to make our own painting.
We were provided with paper, brushes and acrylic color (titaniun white, ultramarine blue, yellow, yellow ochre, vermillian red).
The brushes available are too small to paint the background. Ghirmay actually used kitchen spatular and turner to spread his paint.
I am not able to make a color of dark rock using the available colors.
I stopped at this half result.
It's interesting to see what others did. So different from one to another. Overall, quite relaxing. Maybe some day, I'll paint something on my hikes.
