The Green Machine has arrived early this year. I know quite a few artists who have packed it in to avoid going green. Me, I paint on through all the seasons, but I don't make many all - greens. I have developed coping mechanisms for dealing with Green. Here they are;
- Mix variety in the greens - use reds, violets, oranges, yellows, earths, and white in them.
- Lay down different greens with most brush strokes, use different strokes and textures.
- Make structure the focus. Old buildings, rock formations, water.
- Paint on a coast or lakeshore.
- Paint still life or from the model.
