I spent three days with Kitty Wallis as we studied painting with a focus on plein air painting.
This charming home captured my attention, and became the subject for our work..
I really liked the quality of light in the scene as well.
Kitty did a demo of underpainting techniques....
I admire her bold use of color!
Mercury the cat was always close by....
A lesson in color was covered in the studio.
We worked on finding colors with values the same.
Then saw the response of a medium value over light and dark values.
Back outdoors on Day 2 for a demo with pastels....
We worked on our paintings with Kitty assisting us with learning to
see the subject in terms of values.
Jane at work in pastel....
Marty at work in acrylic......
Day 3 - I took the opportunity to try again in a larger format 24x36.
This is my loose underpainting using the pure liquid pigments.
I will be processing all the valuable information Kitty has shared
as I continue to work on finding my color voice. I will remind myself
to view the value, temperature and intensity of colors I am choosing
to use in my paintings.
What a great experience to carry me forward in this artfelt journey!
