SF Workshop23

I decided to do a small painting 8 x 8 from Richard's DVD before I started another street scene for Workshop 23. First the small size made painting this scene more difficult than it needed to be. I found the perspective and size on the cars a challenge. Looking forward to using what I learned on my next painting

Comment by Sharon Repple on July 25, 2013 at 14:54: Thanks David, for your special comment. I try to always get my perspective right because I love the way it adds depth to my paintings. But adding the cable car into a scene and keeping the proportions correct was more difficult than I expected. Sometimes when you get it wrong on the first attempt, it is probably better to start over. Always learning.

Comment by David DEntremont on July 25, 2013 at 12:54: I really like this painting Sharon! Your values are great, and balance between warm colors and cool colors really make the painting pop. I think the the only problem may be the car on the left, maybe because of the small size making it difficult to get the perspective correct. But otherwise a great job!

Comment by Jessica Futerman on July 24, 2013 at 17:42: Love the colour on this, Sharon, especially the warm pinks on the sides of the buildings & sky!

Comment by Sharon Repple on July 23, 2013 at 13:26: Thanks Ningning, your comment made my day

Comment by Ningning Li on July 22, 2013 at 11:50: Sharon, I enjoy this piece very much. It showed that you really study the case. The cable car and shadow of the posts those details tell me the story. This is a very well done painting and apart from that your attitude is what I should follow and appreciate.

Comment by Sharon Repple on July 21, 2013 at 2:52: Thank you Maria, not sure what model my cars are. LOL

Comment by Maria Woolrich on July 20, 2013 at 13:27: Hi Sharon, I feel the total warmth of this painting pleases me. Your vehicles are great. I too had a bit of trouble with the size of the car. Lovely painting.

Comment by Sharon Repple on July 15, 2013 at 11:20: Thanks Dorian, I had to reduce car on the right side and increase size of car on the left. You keep me smiling!
