Add More color

When you paint a monochrome painting any touch of color just explodes the picture. In this painting the red birds and the berries of red pop this painting.

Impressionist and may other painters add complementary color and then also add opposites. This creates interest in the painting. During the 60's  we would do Op-Art or the color clashing paintings. You would see red and blue side by side in the same intensity causing your eye to jump back and forth not being able to focus on either one.

This  was so fun to paint. It brings in the composition a bit of the winter. That  is so neat to paint as well as adding the birds.

Well gang lets get those brushes wet and paint away!
