PUTTING MY PAINTINGS ON THE COVER of books

Once again I am letting you know how excited I am about my latest project, putting my high resolution images on the cover of notebooks and planners. I made a video where I show you a few of the 100s that I've posted. I am also becoming a more organized person with my appointment and project management notebook. I love digital things but I have found that anything I post disappears into the depths of the internet. Digital planners are of couse good for tickle notifications but I genuinely like writing things down and enjoy being able to turn pages and see the past and the future. LOOK on your amazon account and type in sally rosenbaumm composition books or planners

Alizarin crimson, indian yellow and prussian blue AGAIN

This is an 8 x 10 image from a photograph I took ages ago......33 years ago to be exact. It's mind boggling how time works. I started with an indian yellow toned canvas and then outlined the figure with the blue. I then began to block in the shapes within the figure and without the figure. Keeping the palette simple once agains keeps you as the artist simply asking the simple questions. Is it warmer (add more yellow) or cooler (add more red) than what it's next to. The other important question will be Is it lighter or darker. Everytime you add a color to another color it diminishes it's brightness unless of course you're adding white which again can work to cool it down. WITH such a limited palette you get the hang of it really easily. When I was photographing subjects and scenes to paint I would generally ask them (in this case I did the choosing) to wear white. It's of course super reflective and you can make the painting sparkle with the reflected lights.
