Day 3: Everything in Shadow

4x4
acrylic on panel

So I decided to make a study before going forward with this painting. I was channeling Peggi Kroll Roberts. This is from one of her lessons to get you to think about values. Values can create exciting patterns in your paintings. Everything in shadow is painted in one dark value and everything in light is painted white. Stay tuned for tomorrow's painting when I reveal its true identity. Can you guess it?

  2. I love the drama of it Kaethe. A St Bernard dog came to mind at first sight. You're off to a great start with the challenge. You're a braver woman than me to take it on so soon after Christmas!
