Jacklyn Karabaich : Chromatic Grays

Chromatic Grays

"Hope"

This painting was painted twice!

The first attempt was with just Carbon Black and Titanium White oil paint mixed together.

When the painting was finished it didn't have much life to it,

so I put away the carbon black

and squeezed out the ultramarine blue, cad red and cad yellow medium and mixed different ratio piles. Then by degrees I added white to the different color piles.

Finally I had grays that were lively! They are called Chromatic Grays.

Thanks for Looking!

JanettMarie,
Thank You for your comment!
I had to go look at what I used to paint this since I use a palette knife most of the time, it was a Flat 12 Monarch by W&N.

A Little About Me

As a military wife, I had the opportunity to study classical oil painting for three years while living in Europe.
I lived in a small town surrounded by the Belgium countryside. During this time I also learned scenery painting with the local theater group.
When I returned to the United States, I re-enrolled in college and majored in Fine Art.

I have always been fascinated with painting, I remember being in an artist's home when I was about six, and "really looking" at the paintings wondering "how" they were made? This sense of wonder about painting has held my attention all-of-my-life.

Today, I still study painting daily, and continuously look for inspiration for that next painting!
