| Red Peppers, Oil, 12 x 16" |
Dear Imaginary Friends,
This painting represents how I spent my day, two wednesdays ago in John Murray's class at the Art League.
How red are those peppers? Pretty darn red. Why? Because of the rule of simultaneous contrast, wherein if you place two opposing colors from the color wheel adjacent to each other in a composition, the colors make each other vibrate; it brings out the intensity of the chroma. By placing the red peppers against the green cloth, the colors are allowed to sing.
And that song is loud and clear.
Your Imaginary Friend,
Patsie
