Value & Color Studies- Sedona















Today our workshop session was at a park near Cathedral Rock. It's reportedly the most photographed spot in Northern Arizona and I can see why. The value studies came easier today after yesterday's practice. The trick was to stick to the value study when using color even though the light was changing. Using Jennifer's limited palette is a fun change. We had milder winds and perfect temps. I looked for my plein air snake, but didn't see one. All in all, a fantastic, instructive day. Tomorrow rain is expected...we'll see what happens!

    I it was a pleasure meeting you and Martha. I also enjoy your work. The warm spectrum in which you paint adds so much dimension to your work.
    God Bless and hopefully I will see you tomorrow!

  2. Very cool. I like how you have placed the value studies next to the colored paintings.
