Two palettes created by extracting some colors from a couple of my oil paintings. The one on bottom is mostly a red painting, with quite a bit of yellow. So the palette is not meant to represent a similar balance. The top one is from a painting that has quite a bit more red and magenta than you see in this palette collage. It is one of my favorite paintings.
This palette, from acrylic painting, came from the painting below. So you can see kind of how I did this or what one of these refers to. I start with not a very large palette when creating an abstract painting. Many new tones are created in the blending of the original palette I choose; this is how the whole new painting or palette becomes richer. To me, this is intensified with oil paints because of the slow drying and the rich way they blend. But I paint very thick with acrylics (little water), and do not intentionally mix any colors within my palette. They blend minimally on the canvas.
The middle painting is the origination of the palette directly above. This is available as a small print download on my Etsy site: MysaArt. I am blogging from my phone and having a problem linking right now. If interested in any prints or seeing a few more (not so many listed as of right now), I do have my store linked in the side bar.
The other two paintings were similar in style, though quite different from one above, because I formed them from lines vs just blobs of color. But they are also, in the end, essentially blobs of bright color in oil pigment. This painting I posted here is a small acrylic painting I made. I prefer oil paints but they are a little more tedious and obviously require longer drying. Humidity is sometimes an issue in my house. So I have come to find ways to enjoy using acrylics a little too. This is not a style I create often, this painting above. But it is specifically something I created to highlight a preferred red.
