We have been doing exercises concentrating on getting good value contrasts. This is an area that has proved difficult for me in the past, and together with the discipline of working small and fast I think the long term results will be beneficial. I just hope I can translate what I have learnt when I revert to my normal, undirected, plein air work.
These are the three pieces I submitted for week three, they are all oil on gessoed paper (a new substrate for me - I will blog about that later) 5x7" (another 'new for me') done with a very limited palette and three pre-mixed tones of each colour.
I will go back and do bigger paintings of some of these. I look forward to what we have to do for the final week.
