It’s that time of year! I hope everyone (in Canada) enjoyed the Canadian Thanksgiving over the weekend. Gourds and pumpkins are on sale just about everywhere and, fortunately for us, they make a great still life.
Following my lead, most of the students developed the values in their paintings with grey. We’ve been using this approach since our first class this term. Local colour is glazed over the ‘underpainting’ in grey.
These past four classes have been a solid review for some and a new experience for others. I’ll continue to emphasize value and light and shadow in the weeks to come but I plan to present some other approaches, as well.
