In the colours of the light ... I see the rainbow


This spring I have worked with the colours of the rainbow
I begin with the primary colours ... yellow-red-blue
It´s always fascinated me mixing the colours !!
using the acryllic painting
you have the possibility
to add a lot of water and put a lot of thin layers on top of each other.
The transperancy let the colours mix on the canvas
and it´s a wonderful feeling to see the colours chance,
 get brigther or deeper ... more cold or more warm !!!

                                                                          
when I think the colours have some kind of balance
I use diffent ways to make
the things I see more clear ...

in the next to paintings I have used some blue colour
to make the brigther colours stand out
shapes  of people ...

                                                             the next painting I also
                                                                       started up
                                                             with the primary colours


then I used a spatel to make som
thin soft, straight lines and afterwards I started
to make some patterns ...

Another beginning ...


I thought the colours were so beautiful and
 I felt there was so much life in the colours
 so I did not want to disturb it too much ...

       

... so I decided to use a white pen and draw the contours
of some of the small details
to make some parts stand out.

When it was finished ...
 I thought it reminded me of the bright colours
of the glasmosaic windows in Sagrada Familia
