...the sunlight didn’t change for these two paintings because they were painted within a week of each other. There is a noticeable difference in the mixed yellows, in terms of color temperature. The citrus moves toward cool, as the yellows are more green. The sunflowers toward warm, moving into warm oranges. Yellow is a challenging color to mix in paint. Adding white really dulls the color, adding black turns yellow to green. The challenge is to mix yellow with its adjacent or opposite colors so the yellow remains life-like and vibrant. Take a moment to look at each painting below and see the difference. Citrus in sunlight is for sale in my Etsy shop. Sunflowers in sunlight available on UGallery.
