(I also sometimes use burnt sienna) I guess the lighter color keeps me from getting too dark too soon. Not really sure - it just feels right!James Tennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875068846954381735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272531311611698399.post-61254192703126596862013-10-28T17:50:16.806-05:002013-10-28T17:50:16.806-05:00Hi, James.
I just stumbled upon your wonderful ...Hi, James. <br /><br />I just stumbled upon your wonderful blog. I'm very impressed by the warmth you infuse into all your portraits, even some of the more formal corporate types. Nice. Also enjoy seeing the progressions and your architectural pieces. All so inspiring. <br /><br />One question I have...how do you pick the colors you use to block in your pieces. You seem to favor yellow frequently, I'm just curious what your rationale is. I'm struggling with this issue at the moment. My default, burnt umber, is nice and neutral, but sort of boring, too.<br /><br />Thanks for you response. Best regards, CandaceCandace X.
