Artist, Vermeer & Pointillism in Paintings

Dutch artist, Vermeer (1632 – 1675), painted A Street in Delft. Vermeer is known for his paintings of women in rooms. While he painted few landscapes, his impact on other landscape artists was significant. Vermeer’s work emphasized clarity. His paintings are acknowledged for his light, luminosity and objects. This painting shows the start of pointillism technique. Post impressionist artist, Seurat expanded on the pointillist style painting dots of broken color unified by the viewer’s eyes.

Color in Art; My Still Life Painting, Flower and Fruit

This is my painting, Flower and Fruit Still Life. The dominant temperature is cool. I mentioned in my prior post that I worked with 2 pairs of complements; orange and blue, green and red. The dominant value is mid dark tones. While the objects are close to the picture plane, I made the background recede into space. I also changed the hue and value in the background. The color moves from dark black green to mid muted green. I made black by mixing a violet red with yellow green. I needed to add the orange hue elsewhere in my painting. I put some on the leaves. I couldn’t see another location that would suit my expressive purpose. The light source is from the above left side.
