Lessons Learned


I worked on this painting today but am not happy with it.  The top right corner is not right at all, but I  need to put it away to figure out how to fix it.  Lesson learned: All areas that gave me trouble in the block in/value study, gave me the equal amount of trouble with paint on the brush.  Ergo, if I can't create a decent value study, I can't paint it....Seems simple enough.  I'll try to remember that.

  1. Julie, Great color. I especially like the pitcher. I happy for you that you have launched your blog. You are an inspiration. If you try lighting the shadow behind the leaf that should make the area closer in value, keeping your center of interest (high contract) on the pitcher. Lovely painting.
