Demo Pc.

Sheila's Pier-8x10

SOLD


this was a piece i did as a demo of my painting process for students in a workshop in delaware. i showed them on this one how to paint all the shadow shapes in purple or blue paint very thinly early on (color correcting later) and then how to paint the light shapes more thickly and in warmer (yellow and red) colors. then i showed them how to break big shapes into smaller shapes of different colors. i stressed that not much detail is needed for the viewer to know whats what in the painting.

i am finally at home in nc after weeks on the road. it'll feel good to sleep in my own bed tonite. i will unpack and tweak all my "daily" paintings ive been doing and start posting them in the days to come. had really lousy connectivity on the road and didnt post on the blog as much as i would have liked to.
