Advancing with Watercolor: Color: Creating Luminosity "Jaune Brilliant"

This is a video done as a supplement to a watercolor class taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. This video was made to demonstrate how an artist might work with color to create a more pronounced center of interest. To find a center of interest is perhaps the first step to organizing the content. I have used the motif of a flower shop on Rue Cler in Paris - added figures at my center of interest and used complimentary hues of yellow and violet in juxtaposition to create attraction and glow in the painting This painting utilizes and underpainting of cad yellow and cad orange red . The darker washes are created by various mixtures of Burnt sienna and ultramarine blue. I hope this exercise is helpful in simplifying the process of composition with color - and illuminating as to how we generate glow through transparancy My Materials List: http://www.garytuckerartist.com/gallery/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Materials-for-traveling-watercolorists.pdf Thank you for your support - for liking this short video and for your comments.
