I apologize to all of you that have left comments for not thanking you sooner. Never again, will I wait till the end of the month to come and see the messages left for me. I just got so busy trying to paint over and over again..........and trashing them. Not going to name you by name because I might miss someone and I don't want to hurt any ones feelings.......So please accept my apology and know that I have read your encouraging words and do appreciate each of them. Thank you so much........Smiles to you : ))
one of the best value studies
It looks great Dor!
A very different feel, in a good way. I echo the Turner reference! Anxious to see the next stage.
Looks nice Dor. I enjoyed reading all the post here. Stu had some good points. Being a photographer as well as an artist, I do a lot of sunset photography. When I take my images, I try to really notice what the eye can see when I take the photo, because the image always makes the foreground almost black. But, the natural eye can see "something" up close to where you are standing even with just a little light in the sky left. I mention this so that as you view your sunsets you too will start to take mental note at just what your eyes see that the camera misjudges. I have also noted while studying many of the old masters painting this very concept of what the natural eye can still see during sunsets. Roena
Very subtle. The values are close, but that just sets a very particular mood. Can't wait to see the glazing.
Turner, here we come!
Dor, too high key! This is a backlit scene, so darken your land; it is getting almost no light, because the sun is behind the clouds. This is mostly a mid value painting with a little bit of white. You are going to have trouble with your glazes over that impasto white. Your brush work is very nice. Don't discard this; just go back and restate your mid darks on the land and darken some of your mid values. Your toned canvas warms it up very nicely. Stu
