Backgrounds Are A Challenge

"Red Background"

Oil on Canvas, 10x8," c. Catherine Vines

   

For me at least.  

So I decided to make a preemptive strike, so to speak. This red background is for a landscape I have planned. My idea to to selectively let some of the red show through.

This is another foray into Color Relationships. In this case, each red is slightly different - not so clear in the photograph.

The next step will be a value study, then on to the painting.
