Painting 1 Week 5

Week 5 Recap
Tuesday we started the wet into wet painting beginning with a white + earth tone. Then drawing back into this wet paint with a darker value. The main goal to create a full value study for glazing. Thursday we began working into this value base, scumbling light values and color in the light areas while glazing the shadows in the painting. We also discussed the concept of the velattura (a semi opaque mix of color + medium) as a means of changing color and value in your painting. Homework for week 5 is to make 3 thumbnail sketches of one subject, using cropping as your tool to zoom in and out of focus on this subject.
