Boy did I have a good time painting things in my new vibrant semi opaque Daniel Smith Pyrrol Scarlet. Thanks people for your challenges. Here are the last of them. Will it really be the last of my red subjects ........... for now yes. So here they are with the names of the challengers.
Scarlet Woman from Lyndi Lou Lou I have named her Scarlett Pyrrol the Prima Ballerina
Then you get one bright spark that says something odd like Blood, and this is what I came up with. Thanks

Red Wellies, yep done this week and it's not really worked, but I don't mind showing you any way. My challenge as I suddenly thought of something red that I hadn't done.
These were included in the nickers challenge from naughty Beverley Wells.
Well this shows you what fun you can have with just one colour. I was experimenting along the way with layers, mixing slightly with other colours, dropping a little of another colour in, using it neat and trying to assess the strength and opacity of this delightful colour. Now I am redded out!!!!!!!!! Now I need a glass of red wine (oh no haven't painted that, but then it isn't this bright red, oh dear what am I to do).
I love how you and the other artists ran with this!!! Nice pieces!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan, Great Fun I had
DeleteSuch a lovely red series, Polly, I'm surprised that you managed to create all of them so quickly, and most are such good paintings in their own right.
