SOLD-Pair of Buoys-5x6

wanted to do some block studies today but wanted something with a little more form so i headed over to the docks and found these buoys.i wanted something that had a little more form than just a block of wood painted colors. so i went to the waterfront and found these buoys. the idea is to study the "color spots" and put them down to accurately paint the light key. the light key is whether its sunny, overcast, foggy, cloudy, or in the shade. when i did these it was slightly hazy with high thin clouds. when you first start you make the distinction between whats in the shadow and whats in the light. make sure everything in shadow is darker and cooler than anything in the light. study each plane change and try to put that color spot down. i do this by layering pure color into the shape until i match it with what i see, hoping the viewer can tell what the light key is
