Red Onions. by Denise Cat

Chiaroscuro much in evidence here Denise… and a rather splendid example using simple objects! Well done! What colour ground did you start off with?

Fabulous still life Denise

Lovely depth to the colours. Very strong

Stunning work Denise.

Excellent painting Denise.

Thanks very much for your comments Alan, Russell, Martin and Chris. Alan, I always use a Raw Umber, a watery consistency, light to dark, depending.

Thanks Stephen.

Okay Denise, I was expecting you to say a more reddish brown mixture but this has certainly worked well! The final result appears to be a lovely warm dark brown…

I mixed a Raw Umber with Ultra Marine and I did want a warm dark colour so Ochre was added. The little bit of light behind the onions is actually a green made with a mix of Ochre and Ultra Marine with a dot of Titanim and blended in.

Wow - that's fantastic Denise!

This is superb Denise. The onions are so realistic.

Excellent.
