Confetti Color
The development of this novel painting style began and
evolved
while I was a newspaper photographer and illustrator.
I call this style of painting,
Confetti Color, because the surface
of my pictures are covered with dots and patterns of brightly
colored paint.
Here's how Confetti Color was developed.
Technique 1: When these dots or patterns of color are placed
around a subject in a painting, the subject stands out - - like
a
mat
around a picture.
Notice how the
whitetail buck stands
out from the background in the
painting below.
Technique 2: However, when these dots or patterns of color
are placed
on a subject, the subject blends into the background
- - like a natural camouflage.
Notice how the Rio Grande
Turkey (above) blends into the background.
I began combining both techniques in my western and wildlife
paintings. Therefore I’m able to emphasize one subject while
camouflaging another in the same painting.
This technique has changed over the years, becoming more
sophisticated and hopefully making my western and wildlife
paintings more fun to explore.
