Last Colors, pastel, 12 x 18 inches $1350 framed Exhibiting: Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art |
This is all about a singular color and how to keep it interesting. I don't typically work monochromatically but the idea was to catch the greens lit up by a setting sun.
Everything was kept a bit rough at the edges so that the extra detail would add to the complexity. As the pastel progressed, the contrasting colors away from the sun looked best as red-browns and blue-greens. The harmonies were kept tight by using a minimum about of brights and darks.
I'm thinking all the pieces worked together successfully because my eye keeps circling around the pastel, taking it all in.
