We had a great time making our three-step color reduction prints on Saturday. We will be doing this workshop again!
We created our own seismic riff in the studio this weekend (that's a wink at Taylor Swift) with rooms full of Red Poppies.
This page includes reference photos and the paintings I created from them. You are free to work from your photos or from my reference photos during a class.
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.
