Figure Color Study
8" x 6" Oil
$75.00 + $10. s/h
I did this color study the other day while visiting Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia. I sat in on a class that my sister,
Natalie Italiano, was teaching. The color class teaches seeing the light hitting the figure (or form) and how that light changes the local color; making strong color statements; and constantly comparing one color mass to surrounding color masses. Some of the points about color: color masses are painted in in relationship to the masses next to them; learn to see color by looking at color relationships; in a color study start with the brightest, easiest to see color.
I've been painting this week in my sister's studio and will post some of the pictures soon.

What a fun life you have! This is a wonderful composition and the colors are delicious.
A lovely color study, Pam! It is wonderful that you know where to stop when you paint.....less is certainly more. The mood is well captured!
Nice work, Pam! And how awesome to know your sister also paints. It does tend to be a genetic thing, I think. Hope you are enjoying PA.
Debbi, Thank you! Yes, visiting family is great! Especially a sister who paints!
Thanks so much Marie. The great thing about these studies is to just put down the color, compare to the masses next to it, adjust, and you're done!
Sherry, Thank you. We have a great time together, no matter where we are!
