#HAPPY BIRTHDAY

My favorite painting from class - we took one reference image and used it for the composition and then a second reference image and used it for the lighting. It was a cool challenge!

More homework! This time we took a reference photo and did a 5-value study, then a color study, trying to keep the initial values in mind.

Took a painting class last month, here's one of the exercises - take a 3-value composition and reduce complexity (twice!).

Really gets you thinking about how you can play with shapes!

I am not immune to the siren song of making very tiny things

(although this has been sitting half-finished on a shelf since April, so I am perhaps immune to completing them)

I visited Cathedral Grove in BC last summer but didn’t have a chance to stop and paint while I was there. At least I got some nice reference photos! Now that summer is rolling back around I’m daydreaming about hanging out under some big trees.

sometimes the paintings are a little hit and miss as I try to figure out the style - still learn lots with each one!

Been busy and then sick (D:) but finally sat down and scanned some paintings.
