Stuart, I understand and totally agree with you. I did not realise how much we have to think about at the beginning. Now I know that sunset clouds is a subject very difficult to paint. the value, the colour combination and temperature and how they affect each other, and the soft body edges of the clouds, the light.... I feel better when I think about that we will have 3 more classes to study it.
Stuart, this is a very colourful painting compair with most of your other beautiful works. Your foreground was very well done with subtle texture to leave the space for the viewers' imagenation. I love it very much. I enjoy the down part of the sky. The upper part of sky seems like have some greenish which make the sky warm and muddy. I think that part should be more blueish and purplish grey, I mean cooler colour, as it is far from the sun. Glazing is a solution? I do not know. those greens ... Maybe not wast your time, Oh, I give up.
I am just now catching up on the workshop this month. This is a very interesting effect. I am drawn to look at it even if it is greenish. The foreground is energetic and pleasing. I am enjoying the discussion and information regarding glazing, a technique that I haven't tried for a complete painting. Nice to push ourselves out of comfort painting and try new. I like the effect, it has its own beauty
Even though this workshop is about sunsets I find myself focusing on everyone's foregrounds. Perhaps because I'm so unsatisfied with mine. I really like how yours turned out. I plan to try glazing my value study this coming week. I'm a little worried...
Thanks Sharon. I had sort of given up, but since it is completely dry, I think I will try that with my cool transparent red and just wipe off the areas that don't need the glaze with a Q-tip. I already did put some opaque pink back in, but I will try some more. Stu
I would put a red glaze on top of the green and see how that turns out - maybe add some pink to the"farthest from the sun's" warm side of the clouds.
Actually, I like what you have done with the ground area. It looks like a wild scrubby area. I think that worked well.
