Wouldn’t it be fun to one of your paintings on the cover of an exhibition catalog? It has been one of my secret desires to have a painting selected for use on a show catalog cover or post card. Well, it has happened! I am so excited and honored. Greetings! Yesterday was such a nice fall day here in Talent, Oregon, that I had to go out and draw something. In the afternoon, I gathered up my gear and out I went. Naturally, when you’re out looking for a place to draw, it helps to have interesting lighting. As I was walking down Talent Avenue, I spied the “Jupiter Cafe”. The sun shown on the muted green paint out front and I had my place. Hi! I had a flash of insight this morning. I thought I’d make November “Value Study Month”. Nah, maybe, ummm, YES!Value Studies – Why And How I Create Them
November is Value Study Month
Earlier this month, I declared November to be “Value Study” month. And, yet, I haven’t posted many studies. Time for me to fix this problem! By the way, do you create value studies?
Bottomline
Value studies help me analyze and develop my designs. Its like creating a visual road map prior to paint hitting the paper. By doing this step, I am more likely to create a watercolor painting that I love.
