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
