Albers and Hornung taught their students many ways to work with colors in their paintings. One of the techniques to unify colors was called an altered palette. An altered palette is where every color used in the painting has one consistent additive color. In my case, I added alizarin crimson to the colors in the piece. The waterlilies are from a photo I took in Atlanta’s Botanical Gardens but the image has also been altered to allow a color wheel to circle through the lower left quadrant of the work. There are also attempts to move the viewer’s eye up from the color wheel to the upper right through monochromatic green lily pads. Towards the end of the painting cycle, I returned to finish the final details of the work and actually painted one small section of detail forgetting my own concept of the admixture. Can you find the place where the color has no alizarin added to it? (It is the upper portion of the stem of the standing waterlily flower.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/1687992540092-U1E9L4TE34N2CWUWGDTX/Pauline+-+Ink+-+2018.jpg Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/dcc41996-b769-4b63-9e98-aba6654c8c62/Tidal+Pond+at+Pismo+Beach+-+Oil+-+Augenstein.jpg Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/1597002867245-V0ST2UK85C36JEJPNZ23/A+Hook+-+Ink+-+2020.jpg Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/989acf3e-0e16-49c8-9896-35205b00a4bf/Augenstein_ViewfromTrailRidgeRoad_Oil_16x20_2024.jpg Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/5d1d839b-dd82-4c74-88d2-ae9293d20238/unsplash-image-R4viFLEqOWU.jpg Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/1431556390704-L6JUS5OJ03KUE5E9JUKA/Cactus+and+Flowers.jpg Works - Cactus and Flowers Framed oil painting - 20 x 24 inches - $1500 This painting was one of the four that I exhibited at the 2015 Governor's Art Show in Loveland, Colorado.

Denali on my wife and my 40th Anniversary Alaska trip. The work in this piece results from a study in value inspired from Juliette Aristedes’ book, Lessons in Classical Painting. In this process, the values of the painting are separated in four value steps: darkest, middle grey, light grey, and lightest. Each layer is blocked in unreservedly with courage starting with the darkest. The commitment to the dark values allows the other layers to create a great contrast. Additionally, contrast plays out in the cool colors of the shadows against the warm white of the sunlight on the snow fields and the angular nature of the peaks against the incoming afternoon storm. Coincidentally, the storm approaching in this image is the rain storm that poured for hours in the painting I did for “emphasis.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/1755726442870-9YH336VBAPEG36SMF6PT/Augenstein_BoatsinLerwickHarbor-Scotland_Oil_36x24_2025_2.jpg Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/1755725645053-401Y0YW21VCN973I1L0T/Augenstein_TheMoose%27sMeadow_Oil_9x12_2024.jpg Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/1768619350236-M3GXL3V515IJEFDDOOZW/Augensteinm_CascadeatEldoradoCanyon_Gouache_2025.jpeg Works - Cascade at Eldorado Canyon (Plein Air) $200 - Gouache - Art work approximately 6 × 6 inches - Framed (Price does not include Sales Tax and Shipping.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/135ec90a-d11e-4a0c-abad-07be36b40e64/augenstein_CactusandFlowers_Oil_24x20_1500.jpg Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/1432054506201-9GJWLT0N4YZ6STER1DWX/Zach-Twirling-the-Moustache.jpg Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/1432855947397-97935ZCEOYH4UYN6WUQ3/Scarlet+Still+life+-+pastel.jpg Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/88d49d0c-0532-499b-9550-b17b21d35850/Tidal+Pond+at+Pismo+Beach+-+Oil+-+Augenstein.jpg Works “Tidal Pond at Pismo Beach” Oil - 16 x 20 inches http://www.danielaugenstein.com/about-avenue daily 0.75 2023-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/1485721384010-VEWNASG04STA0YVUKWBI/Augenstein+-+head+shot+2015.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5553cabee4b0da925a1ef7e8/1620846188663-MOPDB74IHGOQXZLV62RZ/Dan+in+Burridge+studio.jpg About Dan working in Robert Burridge studio in Arroyo Grande in March 2021. http://www.danielaugenstein.com/read-me-avenue daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fd1028ee4b02be53c65dfb3/1377122138273-T4CY2P9250M4AKM3YGHZ/Brand%27s+creative+mind+%2820130821%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fd1028ee4b02be53c65dfb3/1377122430471-3N5PIOOQ8YDNX5VOP807/CRAINE%26JONSON+%2820130821%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fd1028ee4b02be53c65dfb3/1377122107913-PW08QOSWT7TOGMPCJLIF/HELLO+ZSO+%2820130821%29.jpg Read Me
