Prepping for Classes

Yesterday I starting preparing for the 6 week painting class

I will be teaching at the South Shore Art Center next month.

I'm working on some new exercises to try out and thought I would try Carol Marine's 

DPW "Change the Color Challenge" 

I set up real simple still life. 

Then did a value study in burnt umber.

  

 Then painted "made up" colors, but kept them in the same value.

This is a great lesson! 

It reinforces my favorite quote: 

"Value does all the work, 

Color gets all the credit." 

Someone wrote to me and suggested that that applies to "life" as well. 

Well, yes. It does.
