Hello
Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #24
The best thing about autumn for a painter like myself is that I no longer have to deal with all vegetation being green. In the summer, everything is so green, this is the reason if I go to photograph scenes to paint or go plein-air
painting, I try to get up very early or watch the sun go down in the evening to catch the long shadows. Having a good like and dark pattern usually makes up for everything being the same shade of green.
Below are a few examples of summer, fall pictures, showing how different a season makes.
Today I talk about creating depth in a painting by using simple cubes to illustrate my points.
Coming in November I will be in an exhibit with 2
of my friends Lucy Tonyan and Gary Wigman, at The Palette and Chisel Gallery, more info in the coming weeks.
There WILL be class this Thursday in Libertyville and on Saturday at The Studio in McHenry!
Cheers!
David
