SOLD-Lavendar and Awnings

SOLD
more metal awnings!
rene and i during a one-on-one plein air class

after simplifying the scene i showed rene how to block in the scene quickly using blue for the shadows and yellow ochre for the light shapes. then we added the real colors where they went. he was having a ball as you can see from that big smile on his face and his painting came out great!

P.S. I noticed you're on Daily Paint Works site. Do you like it? Has it been helpful? It looks great.
