ALVARO'S FRESCO GRAY

 Alvaro's Fresco Gray is the cool version of yesterday's gray and at the risk of sounding like I am repeating myself, this after all the second of two grays for Alvaro Castagnet, renowned Master Artist and a part of  Daniel Smith's Signature Series. There are six greys in all that were released in 2019, each created with a renowned artist in mind. His Fresco Gray is quite different from yesterday's Caliente, beyond the obvious opposition in color temperature. Alvaro's Fresco Gray is a deep indigo straight from the tube and washes to a misty grey. It is a granulator, unlike its Caliente sibling. They both mix well with other colors, I added a deep undersea green into it to create this Pacific Northwest atmospheric image of The Sleeping Lady in Leavenworth, Washington.

    SOUL

    “I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
