Fifth Painting Class


More added to my white pot. Getting better. Things to remember:

1.) Stand back while painting to see the entire composition. Allows me to keep values and colors in check.
2.) When returning to a painting, don't start with the most important object. Allow yourself to warm up first by painting the foreground or background.
3. Just because a color isn't there does not mean that it can't be added. Adding blue to the pot adds some cooler tones and makes the image less monochromatic.

I think I'm getting a better hang of this. One more class :-( I'll probably take it again next month. I'm learning way too much not to.
