Twenty-One























On Day 3 we worked on color studies. Color studies are not about matching color they are about understanding the relationships between colors. First you slap on the color that catches your eye the most then you start relating the other colors. Are they lighter or darker? Warmer or cooler? Color studies are done quickly so you don't have time to think about it too much, you just respond to what you see. The model gave me permission to use her photo here at the blog and I think it's helpful to see the set up. They use colorful set ups so you can train your eye to see color relationships more easily.

It was by Day 3 that I also started hearing complaints of creaky shoulders, trick knees, and sore feet from standing so long. A therapeutic yoga workshop for artists is percolating...
