Late Sun, 1990-1996 watercolor, graphite, conté crayon, litho crayon, and pen and ink on Fabriano paper (5 1/4 x 9 7/8 in) Charles Ritchie, Jasan Haam Gallery
Yesterday I said the next post would be about color, but I didn’t have time to write today, and there has been so much bad news that I wanted to put a little art in your inbox.
Today is an addition to yesterday’s post about the Effects of Light, with illusions of glow produced from contrasting dark (a lot of dark) against light (a little light), and then implementing hard and soft edges. This painting arrived in my inbox as part of an invitation to a show in Korea, and I thought it was a great example of what we had been studying. Notice how much of the image is dark values, to make those lamps glow. Within that, hard vs soft edges seems to be the subtle game within the entire painting. See how many transitions you can find.
