This pair of pears took me longer to paint than it should have. They are fairly light in color in life with very little red (yes, I picked them, duh), even when I used the spot light, the shades were still quite light. It was a disaster this morning when I looked at it. Then, I went back and made a few attempts to darken the shades. I think I've learned my lessens.

I like your use of light in this. I was searching for something else on google when I was attracted by the name of this one, I have one with the same name on my blog: Dianne-VoicePainter.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteI stayed on and enjoyed your other postings too. Very nice! It's a learning experience, every painting. The comparison of the two versions of the girl in the chair with your discussion of it was really helpful. I need more critiquing by experienced eyes.
Thank you for your kind words, Dianne. I saw your work on your website. For watercolors, your work has a lot of weight. Nice work! Like I always say to my students, values are second to composition in a painting. I think defining the light and dark values in a painting is the beginning of telling a story. It shows the light source; without it there will be no colors. Do you agree?
