This past Saturday was one of them. I gave a \u201ctour\u201d around my palette \u2013 the paints and pigments I use, which are my absolute favorites and why. One of the attendees asked me a question, that was somewhat complicated, about artists she\u2019d heard of using specific color combinations, such as a cool yellow with a cool blue or a warm blue with a warm red. She wanted to know how I combine colors and what rules I follow. My head was sort of swimming with the details of her question; I find it really convoluted, to combine the process of making art with the idea of following \u201crules\u201d like this.<\/p>\n<p>My answer came in two parts. The first has to do with using the terms \u201ccool\u201d and \u201cwarm.\u201d I find it can be useful to use these words, when describing <em>groups<\/em> of colors. Warm colors are well understood, as those we associate with warm things, such as fire: yellow, orange and red. In the same way, we call cool colors: green, blue and purple. But when it comes to using \u201cwarm\u201d and \u201ccool\u201d to describe <em>individual<\/em> colors, the meaning can be really ambiguous. What the heck is a warm blue? I think the custom is that a warm blue is a violet-leaning blue. But to me a green-blue feels warmer. Using warm and cool in this way, is not intuitive. So, instead I always refer to them according to the color they lean towards \u2013 a greenish yellow, an orange-yellow, a more violet-red, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Then there was the second half of my answer, which to me, is the more important part. As I combine colors on my paintings, I choose the colors that appeal to me, that are inspired by my reference image and that, when I put them together on my painting, please me. My desired result doesn\u2019t always happen on my first attempt \u2013 it often doesn\u2019t &#8211; but, it\u2019s what I\u2019m striving for. Even when I first began painting years ago, I knew what I liked and didn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n<p>I phrased this response to her question from my own perspective \u2013 when <em>I<\/em> combine colors on my paintings\u2026 And today, I\u2019m saying this to you \u2013 to offer permission to <em>you<\/em> in your life and painting. Mix whatever colors you want! Whatever is pleasing to <em>you<\/em>. Everything about our expression is unique to us, to our own particular and individual view and filter. The colors we choose to mix together, are part of our expression \u2013 they are part of our visual voice.<\/p>\n<p>I really appreciate the movie reviews in the San Francisco Chronicle, written by the senior film critic, Mick Lasalle. His reviews reveal a perceptiveness, that amazes me time and again. I always read his Q&amp;A column, in the Sunday pink section. This week he was asked a question, about how he rates films with multiple directors, such as <em>Paris je t\u2019aime<\/em>. I found his response helpful in what I\u2019m writing about here.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than use some kind of scoring system, he evaluates these films as he does any other. He says, \u201cIt\u2019s just intuitive, because it has to be intuitive. In the end, there cannot be a system for reviewing movies, because art doesn\u2019t yield to systems.\u201d He&#8217;s right, art <em>is<\/em> intuitive. Our response to it is intuitive and making it <em>has<\/em> to be intuitive.<\/p>\n<p>As we learn, it can be helpful or even simply interesting to learn \u201crules\u201d, such as putting colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel to create visual excitement, or putting colors together that are adjacent to create harmony. But what\u2019s more important to forming our own visual voice, is that we observe these effects ourselves. You can be <em>told<\/em> that putting orange next to blue makes for contrast, or\u2026 and\u2026 you can just paint orange next to blue, and see how <em>your<\/em> color perception interprets these two together. My sense is that we need both: to learn to the skills of our craft <em>enough<\/em>, so that we aren\u2019t always focused on the <em>how<\/em> of making art. <em>And<\/em>, we need to trust ourselves, give ourselves the permission to follow our intuition, our inklings, our inspirations and allow our preferences.<\/p>\n<p>There is no formal curriculum in our weekly groups. All the teaching that I do, is <em>drawn out<\/em> of me, rather than my <em>pushing anything on<\/em> to those who come paint with me. I do all I can to foster the individual intuitive senses, of the artists I\u2019m working with. You are in the driver seat with your own art and the direction it\u2019s headed in. I can\u2019t get inside your head to see your vision. My job is to help you with the obstacles in getting it there, based on what you can describe to me.<\/p>\n<p>The word-nerd in me looked up the origin of the words \u201cintuitive\u201d and \u201cintuition.\u201d Their Latin roots mean to \u201clook at or watch over\u201d, but an early meaning was theological: &#8220;insight, direct or immediate cognition, spiritual perception.&#8221; Our intuition is a form of spiritual knowing \u2013 and it comes from simply observing. My friend, Joanne LeBlanc, uses the expression: \u201cI know it in my <em>knower<\/em>.\u201d I think this is what she\u2019s talking about. Sometimes we <em>do<\/em> just know things. And this intuitive knowing, is where our art comes from.<\/p>\n<p>This comes down to the idea of trusting ourselves \u2013 trusting what we like and don\u2019t like, trusting our intuitive sense, even trusting the way we paint. I\u2019ve seen enough art emerging, to realize I could write a Dr. Seuss book about artists \u2013 there are fast ones and slow ones, there are neat ones and messy ones, there are bold ones and soft ones, there are those who love detail and those made crazy by it. Part of the journey as artist, is to embrace the way our art comes through us.<\/p>\n<p>I do know of self-doubt too. I made a big trip to New York in 2009, to show my work at a big art trade show, it was a <em>big<\/em> swing out and costly in several ways. I had my light and color-filled paintings on display, across from an artist from Paris, whose walls were filled with these dark and spare images of one lone jug on a table or a city street, with just a bit of light coming through the buildings. Her art felt lonely and desolate to me. After four days of the show, she had just about sold out and I\u2019d sold just one piece at the last minute. I was left feeling like my art was trivial \u2013 not as \u201cimportant\u201d in some way. I had to remind myself that this was just not my audience.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m here to say, that the desire you and I have to make art is sacred \u2013 and the art that our intuition sends through us, is our souls on deck. If there\u2019s anything that is needed in this world these days, it is expression that reveals that which is genuine and real. I promise never to paint anything else, regardless of what\u2019s in fashion, or follow any rules for their own sake. And I won\u2019t let you either. We\u2019re here to paint our love.<\/p>\n<p>With <em>my<\/em> love,<\/p>\n<p>Cara<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to this post: A few times a year, I offer a hands-on demonstration at Riley Street, our local art store.
