This was painted in the Piero Resta Haiku Cannery Studio, I was 45 at the time. Today, 9-20-15, I'm 74. The Magenta color was called Acra Violet when it first came out in Liquitex Acrylics, later it was changed to Magenta. This magenta on the mango only lasted for 5 hours before turning purple. That's a good example of why it's important to get your first 100% coverage done in the first day.
The texture on the basket was done with a 1 inch dry brush, then touched up with a rigger (long hair, pointed end, round ferrule). All the painting colors in these galleries were done with the same palette shown in mypigments.htm and explained in the colorwheel.htm section. |
