Yellow Onion with Red/Green Palette

I decided to take on a project. Actually it's an old idea from my teacher Hong Nian Zhang at The Woodstock School of Art. He taught us three complementary palettes. (RED/GREEN, BLUE/ORANGE and YELLOW/PURPLE). I was never able to keep a predominately single color in any of my paintings like he did (I ended up using his palettes but getting a different color sense which is perfectly fine) so I'm going to concentrate on this concept and see if I can do 6 onions in each of the primary and secondary colors. Now that I've said this outloud I wonder how far I will get!

Bubble Glass and Onion


Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Haven't posted in awhile cause I've not been up to painting; have allergy/cold symptoms that have made me really tired. Sometimes I try and paint when I'm not well and just end up throwing it out, so might as well just give in!
The image I've posted is the set up that I used in my watercolor DVD demo. I just ran out of prints that I have of it but wanted a friend who doesn't have a mac to see it so I thought of posting it here. Guess this is as good time as any to plug the DVDs and book (sent my first order to Israel a couple of weeks ago!). The book is $25 and DVDs are $35 plus shipping.
Hope to get back to painting soon and have something to post.

Happy Halloween

Looked like a pumpkin almost as much as an onion. Guess we are influenced by holidays as much as anything else.
