Onion and Celery

Gouache on panel - 6x6 inches - $150 (Click here to purchase)

Here's an onion and some celery from my fridge! I love the colors of an onion. The bounce light from the yellow saucer hitting the underside of the onion is magnificent. I also really love how the green from the celery throws it's hue onto the side of the onion as well. I'm a sucker for bounce light. I was also trying out a different combination of paint tubes to see if I wanted to go with a primary limited palette or an extended primary palette for my upcoming plein air trip next week.

    This painting was with the primary extended palette. The colors used were Hansa Yellow, Cadmium yellow, Cadmium orange, Cadmium Red Light, Quinacridone Magenta, Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue, Viridian, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, and Titanium White.
