This post could have the title: With a little help from our friends we can have a great day.
Or: How to have fun using paper and basic school-gouache box, diving into the color
....and into the Master paintings:)
Around 1960 Picasso painted numerous oil-paintings after the famous Edouard-Manet-Painting "le déjeuner sur l'herbe".
Edouard Manet's painting: (very intriguing indeed, I mean, you just want to undress the Gentlemen, don't you?)
Now one of Picasso's paintings. I love the composition and the colors. He did many more, which I'll take as inspiration from time to time, but this one here called out to me with the mauve-purple and greens, blues and light-weight ocres.
And this is my gouache color study, painted in my A3 Moleskin Notebook. It's a great way to connect with color, water, and composition while trying to simplify objects into just shapes...try it with your favourite painter... and have a wonderful Wednesday!
