I think you have done a good job of the scene and good enough for me / I would like to use it .but have you the original ressolution ? this one I down loaded was blurred to my eyes around 1500 res/to 2500res is my minimum..so if the original was so ,could it be posted to my e mail [email protected] I know they wont take a high resolution on the thread part thank you all the best Alan
This is a far easier option in Acrylic... This might give you the idea... http://www.painters-online.co.uk/gallery/picture.asp?id=11533
Have you tried painting them with a slightly stronger mix of the original colours, then when dry, glaze with a bluish purple, the warmth of the undercolour should then show through.
I find this sort of thing difficult too; usually get round it by mixing the complementaries of my main colour - so if you take the mix on the left as being basically orange (raw plus burnt sienna, modified with other yellows) then a bluish or purplish glaze as suggested should work; or mixing blue or purple with the orange-y mix..... try it out on scraps of paper.  Avoid Paynes Grey: has its uses, but not in this sort of painting where you're after the appearance of shadow on a sunny day.  <div>By the way = this is a fiendishly complicated scene, from which I should cringe in a generally rather pathetic way.... well done for even tackling it.  </div>
Ah - this is my sort of scene. It all depends on your basic palette as to how you tackle it and Robert and Artyman offer good advice here. I am inclined to ignore, to some extent, the actual colours and use my own palette when tackling such a scene - I would be using raw and burnt with touches of light red on the left. On the right I would probably use a mix of light red and ultramarine which i find as being the most important mix in most of my work. I get tremendous variations in this mix. Painting this way there is no need to worry aboult glazes which I am not too fond of. Alternativly paint both sides in the same mixes and the on the right a glaze with purple wash as has already been suggested. Where is the scene? Might even have a go at it if I get a bit of spare time in the next couple of weeks - thanks for making the photo available Tom.
Hello greenexplorer, When you mix a sunny side with three colors alizarine, ultramarine Blue, and burnt sienna, you add more Ultramarine Blue for the darker side, so you stay in balance and harmony about your colors. You could try raw Sienna in stead of Burnt, for a even lighter mix. Regards Edo
Tom - thanks for making this available - I've had a go at it to get me back in the mood after a holiday doing bags of damn all - my effort is in the gallery at http://www.painters-online.co.uk/gallery/picture.asp?id=66501 Let me know what you think
