Broken Colour Cube

Acrylics 24x22 cm. Critiques welcome. Not as yellow as I wanted it to be... I think I have overloaded the cube with the second color and the first one almost disappeared. If I find the time I'll try again.

Since this was a yellow block, I presume?, you are correct in your statement ..very good that you were able to analyze it. I have noticed that no one has painted any highlights on their cubes? ....

Comment by Marianne Rodwell on April 19, 2014 at 19:10: I can see in your b&w that the broken colour in the reflection (bottom right) is perfect! :-)

Comment by Silvana M Albano on April 19, 2014 at 5:22: Yes Laura, I'd say too spotty...Interesting exercise though...!

Comment by Laura Xu on April 19, 2014 at 4:48: Hi Silvana, I am glad you did it! I like the cube and the background! Some part of the table top is little spotty may be? I learnt it from Michael's comments to my cube. I copy his words to here: "When you paint your broken color ..squint ...if the color does not meld into the base color, it is probably to dark or too light.".

Comment by Silvana M Albano on April 19, 2014 at 3:27: Interesting to see the way it looks in B&W... What I thought it as lighter on the shaded part of the cube, is not really the lighter part... my eyes work strangely.... perhaps it's time to re- visit my optician! I've got astigmatism... and I know that I see the intensity of the vertical, diagonal and horizontal black lines in different shades of grey. I wonder what the rest of you see?
