Artwork-Pen, QoR Mars Orange Deep and Daniel Smith Piemontite Genuine in a Hahnemühle Nostalgie Sketchbook.
A long time ago, I drew this flower – with a technical pen I think but I’m not positive. Having had fun painting with nothing by Mars Orange Deep the other day, I decided to try the same color with Piemontite Genuine, a deep chocolate color.
For some reason, I like all my pigments in a painting to be the same brand. I’m not quite sure why, and it’s silly, because it means I’m missing out on great combinations of colors.
Like this one!

Oooooh! I am liking these monochromatic paintings!
Thank you, Lori! I just needed to do something that didn’t require a lot of thought. My paintings from the last few days have been the result of that.
well I’m liking it!
Many thanks, Alice!
I think the emotional impact of monochrome art can be more intense than polychrome painting. It’s true for black and white photography as well.
That is true, Sharon! The values are more explicit and the color completely sets the tone.
