Wait, it's all the same color!

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 6, 2011, 2:03 PM
I was just looking at my gallery as a whole a second ago, and I realized that it's basically just a ton of blue, orange, and pink. What the hell! Looks like it's time for me to change things up a bit. I think from now on I'll paint flowers and stuff, lots of pastel colors. It'll be like Easter, but all the time.

In all seriousness, though, I really need to step outside my blue-orange box. I also need to tone down the saturation. Why so much colour bruva! Maybe that's part of what people like about my work, but I think it's time to go for a more mature palette, and be really selective about my color.

I don't know, what do you guys think? What about my paintings do you think needs some work and I should focus on more? I'm already working on my color, and definitely anatomy. Lord knows I got enough comments on my Asian chick, rofl.

Hit me with your suggestions!

Also, what have all of you been up to in the new year? Anything fancy?

Take care friendos!

Not a huge fan, I'd rather work directly in color tbh.

Aw, c'mon. Try just one piece just so we all can see how it looks. I mean, your color work is effing amazing, and your style might just give black & white a look we don't normally see. I mean, you're going off about the blue and orange, so why not try to take it to the other end of the spectrum and try no color at all?

Just an idea.

I do photography, and when I get stuck in a groove, I try something I don't care much for... Like my pseudo-macro motherboard pictures. I do landscapes mostly, but one day I was like "Let's try focusing on one small thing rather than showing everything!" Turns out people liked my close-up circuitry. Of course, I went right back to my landscapes after that. But it was nice to throw something random in my gallery.

I personally would love to see something entirely grayscale from you, with that detail and sweet as lighting you do...

But then again... I love blue. And orange goes well with blue. So I think you art is just right.

You said "more mature palette" ... I say "wine turns into vinegar".

And Abrams seems to hate epileptics.
