🎨 Introduction to Color Field Painting
The artist introduces their channel 'Ingas Color,Art' and expresses their desire to experiment with Mark Rothko's color field painting style. They discuss Rothko's use of monochrome colors, large canvas sizes, and the preferred viewing distance of 45 cm. The artist shares their approach to creating a monochrome background using acrylic paints and a sponge technique, incorporating various layers with different colors like umber, phthalo green, and bronze to achieve depth and variation in brown tones.
🖌️ Applying Color and Technique Variations
The artist describes their creative process of applying colors to the canvas using a sponge, starting with a dark, gentle brown tone achieved through multiple layers.
