About the Artist
- Brent Perkins
- Thank you for visiting my blog. Please spend some time here. I hope you enjoy my paintings. I'm not a professional artist--although I've sold paintings--and I don't have aspirations for becoming one. The fact that I enjoy painting is all the motivation I need to keep dipping the brush and slapping on the paint. I believe there are thousands of other painters who hold a similar philosophy. As you can see I have several categories (collections) listed below that you can view. Once again, enjoy your visit. Bookmark and return again. I appreciate your kind remarks.

Cools and warms very well done:)
Hi Brent--
I enjoyed viewing your latest posts. I am amazed at how brilliant your "greens" are. Do you mix from the primaries or do you have lots of pre-mixed greens?
Thanks everyone! Tony, I use mostly premixed greens: Sap Green, Hookers Green, and Light Green. I darken them with touches of Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna. Hookers Green (Daniel Smith) plus Burnt Sienna make a nice olive green. Sometimes I'll wash in a preliminary layer of New Gamboge and let it dry and then apply greens.
