This was done in today's class. The instructor had me buy four transparent paints--transparent brown, yellow, red and green. I used those four colors in the value study. All the previous value studies I've ever done were with regular paint using burnt umber. I like the tints of color these paints provide to the value study.
So today wasn't a total loss. (See today's prior post.)

You're so funny, Virginia! I like the story of your OCD!
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice value study. I think having a little color makes it more fun.
Thanks, Linda!
ReplyDeleteVirginia, I could USE a little of your OCD! I don't think I ever did a value study that had more than one color! I wouldn't worry too much about loosening up. It'll happen as you get more confidence. Listen to me, like I can paint loosely!
ReplyDeleteBut you definitely have an innate sense for composition, and if you keep squinting, you'll nail those values, too. Go, Virginia!
Gosh, thanks so much Kelley!
