Primary Colours
In “Primary Colours,” Susan Schaefer paints a vibrant coastal scene where fishing shacks sit surrounded by water, brought to life through a bold use of primary colours. Reds, blues, and yellows dominate the composition, giving the shacks and water an almost abstract quality. Intense, unmixed colours capture the eye, infusing the landscape with a playful energy that feels both modern and timeless. Each shack stands out vividly against the surrounding water, celebrating the simplicity and charm of these coastal structures.
The composition draws the viewer’s eye across the shacks and the water, where broad brushstrokes suggest movement and depth in the scene. Rich blue water flows around the shacks, while touches of yellow reflect light, capturing the natural brightness of the coastal setting. The red fishing shacks are painted with a confident solidity, giving them a grounded presence amid the surrounding blues and yellows. This creates a striking contrast that brings the scene to life.
Subtle textural details in the water and shacks add dimension, making each element tactile and realistic. The texture created by the brushwork in the water adds a sense of flow and depth, while the shacks display slight variations in hue and shade, suggesting weathering and age. This layering of colours and textures creates a rich and engaging composition that captures both the simplicity and rugged beauty of life by the water.
