Oranges on Blue



Hello, I painted this a few days ago from a set up, such fun to paint the knife. I decided to add this dramatic blue background using Phthalo Blue, I added yellow and killed it with some red. I normally don't have Phthalo on my palette but I was watching one of Carol Marine's Art Byte videos and she uses it so I thought I would try it again. This is oil on a 8 x 10 canvas.

Check out some of my Ebay auctions, unframed canvases at a great price.

Have a wonderful day!

J'aime utiliser ce bleu également... J'aime beaucoup l'harmonie de couleurs de votre dernière peinture.
La composition est également bien équilibrée. Le travail au couteau n'est pas une chose facile. Bravo !
Maintenant, je voudrais bien une petite tranche d'orange !
Gros bisous à vous et joyeuses fêtes pascales.
