Course work: Work on the Stage Four Project continues; today I remixed the blue and yellow previously used, and mixed about one part of the blue with two of the yellow to produce a mid-green, which was used to paint additional squares. Some repainting of previously-painted squares was again done.
Reading and theoretical studies:
Hajo Dütchling Cézanne
Taschen, Köln, 2003
Pp. 65-96
Sketchbook work: A sketch of an old conch horn; I could have lit it better. Another limited palette experiment, today using arylide yellow, vermillion, and cobalt blue. The resulting secondary colors were usable, made nine tints with white, and made useful neutrals when mixed with their complements. A mixture of the three “primaries” produced a strong, dark neutral that would serve as black. This has been the most successful of my experiments to date, and these three colors plus white could be used for a wide range of subjects. I still have several more limited palette ideas to investigate.
Time today: Two hours 21 minutes
