Do you notice that there are times when you just love painting with a dominate color.  I love color but I find that I painted with every shade of blue or I would add blue to almost every painting whether it needed it or not.  I remember a very good artist told me got to put a splash of color that is contrary to the painting just for interest.  Well right now I’m into gold leafing.  That is a challenge on it’s own, let alone know where to place it for the best effect.
