I worked this one with a pale violet gray ground.
The method is Selective start (Richard Schmid).
About 14 by 17 on gesso panel.
When I opened my old shed door and the sun hit the rusty shovels,
I thought it would be a nice challenge.
The shadows from the surrounding tress on the door drove me nuts.Website: www.artderek.com

My wife and I both have a thing for rust. She has a huge collection of images of rusty stuff that she uses to create some very interesting abstracts. Old rusted cars, trains, buildings, tools, equipment etc. have been some of my favorite subjects over the years. It started for me when I was about 12 and was allowed to wander through the woods with my 22 rifle looking for adventure. I would often come back with all kinds of rusty relics to decorate my room. My two most treasured items that I still have today, a railroad car coupling knuckle that I could barely get it into my car at the age of 16 when i found it in a junk pile, and a miners carbide lamp that I found near an old mine over 25 years ago, interestingly, not far from where our current home is, though I lived 90 miles away at the time. Though the “rust” (tarnish / patina )on that one is not iron oxide, since it is made of brass.
July 29, 2018 at 5:05 pm #665295Interesting composition, and thanks for mentioning “selective start” (another thing for me to learn).
Seems to me that the foreground/background separation is less than I would expect. Not sure whether it is a matter of hue, value, chroma, or whether the vertical tree trunk is too harmonious with the foreground.

https://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1431363July 30, 2018 at 12:26 am #665294I like the shadows and abstracted, random colors on the door and also like the treatment/colors on the spades.
July 30, 2018 at 2:47 am #665280On the selective start method i.e. Working out a spot in full color before moving to the next area …. i have difficulty doing that as I alway tend to correct the colors once the canvas/panel is more filled with surrounding colors. Do yoy use a colorchecker or something else procedure wisd to be sure that the first spot were you start has the correct color that uou do not have to correct later on in the painting process ? I have seen quite a few demos on youtube where they employ this method in portraits as well.
July 30, 2018 at 6:12 am #665291Nice one, Derek! And interesting approach. How does it differ from window shading?

EXCELLENT ARTICLES.
My next painting will involve the same method, but on pure white. There seems to be an advantage to this, but you need experience in color and value.
Happy painting, Derek

July 30, 2018 at 12:10 pm #665299Did you use real iron oxide to portray the rust?
