painting - using warm & cool colors

size 16" x 20" medium - "water based oil"

More details...
Colors can be devided in to Warm colors(orange, yellow, red, white) & Cool Colors(black, gray, blue, green, voilet)

This painting is based on real still-subject, not a photo. I replaced white parts of the subject with warm colors. And replaced dark parts with cool colors.

Example: Drapery was actually whitish-cream in color. I replaced it with warm colors.
Similarly, I used cool colors to represent shades between Drapery's folds .

Here is a blog on my experience when doing this painting

My friend, an experienced artist, responded saying "...this painting is too naive..." I feel her comments are very much true..

depeche mode's "playing the angels" lyrics

A PAIN THAT I'M USED TO

I'm not sure- What I'm looking for
anymore - I just know - That I'm
harder to console - I don't see who
I'm trying to be - Instead of me - But
the key - Is a question of control

Can you say - What you're trying to
play anyway - I just pay - While
you're breaking all the rules - All the
signs that I find - Have been
underlined - Devils thrive on the
drive - That is fuelled.

All this running around - Well it's
getting me down - Just give me a
pain that I'm used to - I don't need
to believe - All the dreams you
conceive - You just need to achieve -
Something that rings true

There's a hole in your soul - Like an
animal - With no conscience -
Repentance unknown - Close your
eyes - Pay the price for your
paradise - Devils feed on the seeds -
That are sown

Can't conceal what I feel - What I
know is real - No mistaking the
faking - I care - With a prayer in the
air- I will leave it there - On a note
full of hope - Not despair

All this running around - Well it's
getting me down -Just give me a
pain that I'm used to - I don't need
to believe - All the dreams you
conceive - You just need to achieve -
Something that rings true



SUFFER WELL
Where were you when I fell from
grace - A frozen heart an empty
space

Something's changed and it's in
your eyes - Please don't speak you'll
only lie

I found treasure not where I thought
- Peace of mind can't be bought -
Still I believe

Just hang on - Suffer well -
Sometimes it's hard - It's hard to tell

An angel led me when I was blind -
I said take me back I've changed
my mind - Now I believe

From the blackest room I was torn -
You called my name my love was
born - So I believe

Just hang on - Suffer well -
Something it's hard - It's hard to tell



JOHN THE REVELATOR

John the Revelator - Put him in an
elevator - Take him up to the highest
high - Take him up to the top -
Where the mountains stop - Let him
tell his book lies

John the Revelator - He's a smooth
operator - It's time we cut him down
to size - Take him by the hand - And
put him on the stand - Let us hear his
alibis
By claiming God - As his holy right
He's stealing a God - From the
Israelities - Stealing a God - From the
Muslim too - There is only one God
Through and through

Seven lies multiples by seven
Mutlipled by seven again - Seven
angels with seven trumpets - Send
them home on the morning train

Well who's that shouting - John the
Revelator - All he ever gives us is
pain - Well who's that shouting -
John the Revelator - He should bow
his head in shame
