I’m continuing my studies from sketches with color notes. By working out the composition and value pattern before jumping into paint, I’m freed up to paint more directly and with greater confidence.

  1. This is a nice one. I like the atmosphere in the background. Working from a value study is a good idea.

  2. Thanks, Craig. Judging by your outdoor paintings, which I admire, I think you’d enjoy the approach. Also, it allows you to subjectively vary the color selection to bring out the mood you’d like. For instance, on the link you provide on your site to the GurneyJourney blog, his excellent treatment of color wheel masks would make an excellent experiment for adding the color to a solid value study. I know I’ll be trying it! It isn’t an end in itself, but a great learning exploration for expanding your creative choices.
