Staying Up Late, 11 x 14
This morning was the last day of Laurel Daniel's still life class at AMOA. It's been a great refresher in both values and still life. The challenge today was to create a painting with relationships of 2/3, 1/3, and smidge values--we could choose to do 2/3 of the painting light, 1/3 mid-tone, and a smidge of dark, or 2/3 dark, 1/3 mid, and a smidge of light.....or even 2/3 mid....you get the idea. I went with the 2/3 dark, 1/3 mid, smidge of light (since I've been experimenting at home with dark backgrounds). It's a pretty dramatic result, but I'm liking the drama lately....

Julie, I completely agree with you, this is drama of the best kind! The color relationship of the warms and cools are outstanding; very well done.
Thanks, Angela. The photography here was a challenge--thank you for seeing through that!
This is really nice, Julie. Very Cezanne-esque.
Hi Julie,
I think this is wonderful. Very effectively executed and another great exercise. Love the colour against the darkness.
Hope you are coming out of your funk,
Take care,
Nicki
