Marvin,
Ok, I think I understand.
At any rate, as I once read, your sense of color becomes more sensitive and attuned to the red spectrum as you age.
My own experience is that your grasp of color improves with personal and artistic experience. I find I am taking more chances with color now than ever before. A sort of "what the ****" attitude. If you paint long enough, I think you will want to try riskier color combinations, having run through all the expected ones. There are some benefits to getting older.
Interestingly enough, I find that is just what Degas did, especially in the latter part of his career. He was not, though classicly trained, interested in academic realism, but in saturated and unexpected color combinations.
He was a superb draughtsman, but his later stuff could be said to be quite careless, if we care to nitpick, but, oh, the color!
Sincerely,
|
