"Lead Me to the Rock"

original demo

(Prints are available with or without scripture)



Did this as a demo during class, we made it up as we went along, which is challenging but fun.  Started with titanium white, cadmium yellow, and a small amount of naphthol crimson. 

First, we painted the center of the canvas (mixing on the canvas), then added some naphthol crimson with white for the clouds (which needed more yellow mixed in). 

Then we mixed dioxazine purple and ultramarine blue with white for a nice temperature (cool) contrast. We let it dry and then added a second layer. 

The black was painted last, it has bits of orange and green mixed in.  

This is a great lesson on blending and mixing. Hint: use small amounts of darker colors, as they will eat up the light colors.
