The new semester is about to start and I wanted to let you know what we will be painting this time.
I have gotten several requests to do glass and reflections so we will be doing both! With an added bonus of learning how to use values in our paintings.
One of the things I notice with my students is they are afraid to go dark with their values and most stay in a very safe range which makes their paintings look flat. You need the dark to show light and depth so we are going to be doing a black and white study to start, color can be added later. Yes, this is an exception to my "no black" rule.
I will bring some ink to class for those who would like to use ink or you can mix to your dark, I will show you ways to accomplish similar effects with your paints.
The photos on the reference page include the reference photo and some detail photos but I will also be bringing a set-up so you can see it in real life.
This should be a very informative lesson and I hope that I can convince a few of you to not be afraid of the dark.
See you soon.
