Back to the beige wall problem. A recurring problem for me is that every painting or drawing I do turns out darker than I intend. It doesn't help that the content I choose for my paintings is inherently dark. At any rate, when you're surrounded by dark images, brightness is tough to come by.
I love the colors of the sky at sunset. What better way to brighten a room than to add shades of yellow, orange, red and violet? As is usual at this point, the picture turned out darker than I intended - I need to learn more about creating water - but I'm really happy with the brightness of the sky. Once again I have fallen back on oil pastels as my medium, which resulted in a stained carpeting (time to invest in tarps!) a cracked finger (from using it to blend the colors on the canvas), and a really awesome fuzzy blended effect. I can't wait to hang this in my living room!
