Only One Color

Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!

The Color Wheel you use is a guide to show different color combinations. When combining specific colors, your painting stands a good chance of success.

One of your choices is monochromatic. Like the name implies, the painting is done with only one color… and all its values.

Think of the early Italian masterpieces in sepia color. Even though the color was a brownish mixture, the painting still glows. I like to practice painting small sizes - like 10x10 inch, monochromatic using any sepia color, plus black and white.

My small sepia paint sketch was originally a study in light and dark contrast. The title is Flower Shop Girl. I enjoyed the results, so I decided to paint it larger (20x20 inches) as the demo for this BobBlast. Remember - it doesn't always have to be a sepia brown. Doing a small sketch first allows you to work out any details, composition, etc. When I begin a painting as a monochromatic painting - using only black and white acrylic paint, I work with the dark and light shapes first. After this first step has dried, the transparent colors are then wiped or brushed over the monochromatic painting - and the painting comes alive!

Your assignment is to make a painting using one of the twelve color on the color wheel and work your way around, until you have all twelve monochromatic samples for your studio.

You're gonna love it!
