Picture book
in this painting, from life, I really pushed the chroma hard, I went crazy with the background color to see if it would make the overly saturated flesh colors look feasible. Although this example is not that successful, I think this idea may have some merit. What do you think ???
I have often heard that painting in a "rim-lighting" situation is pretty difficult... This painting showed me just how true that is.

I think that the background works with the flesh tones as it gives the effect of bounced or reflected light and color impacting it. If it were a different background color then the flesh it probable would not work. Nice painting Todd.
Yo Todd!
Fellow diehard artist you are making steady progress in your painting!I agree with Gordy, adding that i love lusty colors especially your use of green contrast to the throbbing reds.Thanx for commenting at my largely unknown blog.
