Adirondack Workshops August 5-6 and Values, Shapes and The Bead

 I am continuing my study of Values, Shapes and The Bead  ; things are coming along with practice.

   I  am forgetting a few steps here and there and have to have a few " do overs " . I also have post it  notes all over reminding me to take pics so I can share with you . What did we ever do before Post It Notes, Lol !

         

Here we go with painting from the value study .

I decided to try and frame my value study as I was really happy with how it came out and almost like them better than the paintings . Did I just say that ? Lol !

I hope you  have enjoyed seeing these and are motivated to give it a try . I know it will improve your work as it gives you a chance right away to see what is working and what needs to be changed. I had a wonderful time practicing and playing with my brush and have developed quite a love for value studies. 

I do have openings in my August workshop at The View Arts Center in Old Forge, NY .

Playing and Practicing with Values on Fifth Avenue and Adirondack Workshop August 5-6, 2019

 I am fresh off a few intense workshops  and today I practiced and played with values which I have been concentrating on for the last few months .

Here is my value study using neutral tint .  I started the first one with a light under  wash and added the middle value when it was dry .

 I then added the darks .

I decided to try it again as I wasn’t crazy about the results so I tried it again without wetting the paper or putting on a light underpainting .  I like the second one better as I like the sparkle of the white paper . What do you think , which one do you like better ?

 Here is the painting I liked better with the value study.

 I will be teaching a two day workshop August 5-6 , 2019 at The View Arts Center  in Old Forge, NY  sponsored by the CNYWS. Please check my website for the links to sign up if  you are interested .www.Dianeklock.com
