Using three blocks and a warm light I focused on values again. This time I am more satisfied with the shadows on the cloth and blocks. Paying more attention and taking more time with the painting proved helpful. This was another good lesson.

I enjoyed seeing your "Back to Basics" studies and reading your comments, Linda. This is something I really need to do. And your new lightbulb looks awesome. Aren't we funny...little things can make us so happy!
ReplyDeleteLove the pastel colors against the brown in this one . . . it seems so simple and I know it's not. I didn't know that warm light created cool shadows. I will have to look harder. I guess when first starting out, painting fast is good so you don't overthink or try to put too much in but, like you, I needed to slow down. Some of your mugshots look Gaugin-like! And I love Just One Lemon . . . it glows!
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking your back to basics series of paintings. This one is spot on!
