Here is the third pepper painting of 4 that I have been working on . One more and then on to a series of Venetian Masks. The image is more Alizarin Crimson and Winsor Red than it appears.
This is after several layers of various "reds," such as Winsor & Newton Alizarin Crimson, Winsor Red, Opera, Cadmium Red, Brown Madder. I have also used New Gamboge.
Next I will be working on the plate and the background colors.
This is the beginning stage of my latest Chili painting. It occured to me when I started this how much I enjoy painting chilies. The more texture they have, the better, and the reds, there are so many that can be used.
