About Me
- Dean Adams
- East Brunswick, New Jersey, United States
- My daily paintings are all painted from life and are 5 x 7" (unless stated otherwise). My current technique is to lay out my palette from dark to light colors, using about 12 colors (similar to Richard Schmid). I used to use the Frank J. Reilly method (from the French Academic School – laying out strings of color values) see June 10 posting. I'm basically self-taught, except for a few months of training I had with specific artists. Enjoy the art, Dean

I like the use of light in this painting and the colors selected for the background.
Thank you. I played with the values to get the lighting effect. For example, the highlights on the glass are different values. There will always be the "lightest" highlight, and the rest will be darker to some degree. The right side of the flowers are slighty lighter than the left, to show that light is coming from the right. Squint your eyes while looking at this painting and it will be more apparent.
