The only thing worse than an ugly painting is a big and ugly painting. (Scott L. Christensen)
Scott L. Christensen - From the Colour category:

Scott L. Christensen - From the Colour category:
My own palette has been reduced to three primaries and white. I usually add a couple of grays as values to modify color and tone. (Scott L. Christensen)

It's a true test of discipline to remain in control and to not let the temptation of color force unwanted decisions. (Scott L. Christensen)
Scott L. Christensen - From the Dissatisfaction category:
There will always be a barrier between what I see and what I am able to portray. This barrier keeps bringing me back to the canvas, carrying on a never-ending desire to express, in paint, what moves me inside. (Scott L. Christensen)
Scott L. Christensen - From the Editing category:
One cannot simply take nature as she is. The task of composing a surface and arranging the material before you requires a feeling for balance and visual weight. There must be a certainty in the placement of objects, as well as an ability to edit. (Scott L. Christensen)
Scott L. Christensen - From the Education category:

I've come to realize that where harmony is concerned, more can be achieved with less color. (Scott L. Christensen)
Scott L. Christensen - From the Nature category:

Scott L. Christensen - From the Plein-Air category:
Organizing the shapes, colors, patterns and values as they relate to the rest of the landscape, and which shift in the changing light, presents problems as well as many opportunities. (Scott L. Christensen)
