This is the study I promised from yesterday (same scene--but you see more detail in this one). I apologize for the poor photograph. It's the strangest thing, but I really like "blocking in" / doing studies like this. Using my dark mix of alizarin, raw umber, and ultramarine blue, and wrapping my finger inside a Viva paper towel, I basically draw/paint with my finger. Just another fine way to do a value study, or even to block in for a painting:)
