Mentoring Program....daily drawing....14

OK back to basics...today has been a day of studying how to crosshatch. It is something that I never learned and today I know much more. There are some good videos on youtube. One thing that I learned was to use an HB or just a regular pencil like a number 2 and that really helps. Let me share what I have learned...the shadow is on the object that is in the darker part of the object. The shadow on the ground is the cast shadow. Then there is the reflected shadow. There are hard and soft shadow. I at least understand more.....and

I will continue to study this until I get it right.

Yellowstone Naional Park

I am enjoying landscape painting so much. It is partly because the Finetec waterolors that I use. They are so incredibly beautiful....ssooooo beautiful.....each stroke is a stroke of LOVE....... www.lindahuntfineart.com

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
