Palettes and Gamuts

My latest painting ('The Devil is in the details') is all completed! Here's my palette I used along with the gamut. 

 I use a butcher try with Masterson sta-wet palette paper and a sponge to paint.

P = Subjective Primary
S = Secondary
dot in the center is Subjective Neutral



 I keep watching this video of modern day master James Gurney explaining color gamut mapping - how to select a limited color palette and keep it consistent. Well worth the watch!

Cereal Siege

I'm simultaneously working on 2 paintings right now. Just finished preparing the surface of the new one (my final project for the Illustrative Painting class at Syn Studio) with gesso and all done the planning. Almost ready to paint - my favorite part of the process. I included a sneak peek of the rough color study. The painting is called 'Cereal Siege'.

Nuit Blanche

I completed this painting for one of the events during the Nuit Blance (http://www.montrealenlumiere.com/nuit-blanche-en/) festival last night. Looking forward to it again next year! (It was for a psychedelic event. It's always a good idea to do your research and learn what your audience will be when you do a live painting.)

I'm calling this piece 'Smurfodelic'. Acrylic and ink on masonite, 24"x30"
