Delvón

[johncomic]

My sixth gouache is a portrait of Delvón Lamarr of the Delvón Lamarr Organ Trio. What struck me about the reference photo for this, was the way that the stage lights created a triad of secondary colours in the face — as opposed to the more standard triad of primaries. That aspect interested me [along with the dramatic back-lighting], so I tried to nudge the colours in the rest of the painting toward the secondaries, to help unify the piece. And I think that worked somewhat.
