We spent a little time in class learning about color wheels.

For this lesson, we will apply color to our value underpaintings.
In applying color, we want to think about Atmospheric Perspective as explained in John Carlson’s Guide to Landscape painting.

A coherent landscape painting is an arrangement of 3 – 4 large masses in a simple four-step value scale.

Observational Charcoal Drawing is one of the best ways to improve your accuracy and add to your understanding of value. 

I enjoyed sharing my love of pastels with the Teen and Adult students this week.
I started each class with a demonstration.
