Workshop 21

Oil on canvas, 16 x 16
This is a low-light photo that is not very detailed (you cant see strokes--it blends/blurs strokes where some actually exist; you can't see canvas; you cant see many details). But the daylight ran out, and today was the deadline, so I wanted to get something up to let you know I did this.
This was a great assignment. It was beyond my current abilities. But that's what lessons are for. I'll never look at things in the distance the same again. And I can't wait to return to Monterey Bay and Carmel.

Comment by mario alberto velazquez on May 23, 2013 at 15:38: was a big challenge, ever have told me to lose a little more straight lines, maybe it's the idea...but I like it enough.congratulations!!

Comment by Betsy Jenkins on May 23, 2013 at 15:03: Thank you, Mario. I struggled with everything: Too bright, too dark, too dull, too tight, too loose, too gray, too blue, too red, too much chroma, too little chroma., too hazy, not hazy enough, and where, exactly, is the damn light hitting? You get the picture--lots to think about, but oh, so much fun! I didn't master everything, but I had a good time trying, and I feel like I have improved, if only in baby steps. On to the next challenge...
