He felt it was a privilege to be on The Artist's Magazine masthead as a contributing editor. In his words: Covering topics ranging from how Sorolla captured light to why Fairfield Porter disregards detail to 21 ways to mix green has been both a literary adventure and a re-investigation into my own approach to painting. My aim has always been to dispense information in a clear, concise manner. Charles Sovek, Artist and Author. Capturing GreenBy Charles SovekThe Artist's Magazine - July, 1995 21 ways to take the mystery out of finding just the right green for any occasion.

Charles Sovek, Artist and Author

Of all colors, green is the most fickle. Beyond its innocent demeanor lies an overwhelming variety of deceptive hues-from subtle and sweet to loud and brassy. So sweeping is this color blitz that, despite the huge number of "green" oil colors on the market, you can't be sure the green you buy over-the-counter is going to match the green you see in a particular scene.

So how do you find the right green? Central to green's fickleness is its status as a secondary color, meaning it's made up of various combinations of the primary colors-red, blue and yellow. Of course, given green's range, it's a good idea to have some reference points lined up before you begin mixing colors. No. 1 - Warm greens. Palette mixtures could consist of any of the warm yellow-oranges-including burnt sienna-mixed with phthalo green, phthalo blue or cerulean blue. Watercolour World.

WATERCOLOR WORKSHOP: Painting Red Poppies

To download a PDF of this tutorial, for $6, click here. Gather some poppy references, or use my drawing . . . Draw the poppies onto your watercolor paper, with some leaves and buds. Then, draw a "frame" around your drawing, but inside some of the petals and leaves -- so it looks as if the flowers are bursting out of the frame. . . Now, prepare your paints. Working on one petal at a time, mingle these colors -- wet-in-wet. Don't dwell on any one petal -- just mingle the colors, and then move onto the next.

You'll notice as you're painting, that the colors will dry a little "duller" than when they were wet. Now that the paint is dry, do another mingling on those petals that you think are too dull. To set some of the petals back, or under the other petals, paint them now, using Alizarin Crimson or Magenta or Maroon. Now, paint a yellow underpainting on your leaves and stems. . .
