Thought I'd send an update on the class challenge - no drawing of our images on the canvas before painting them! As I mentioned in my newsletter, it is harder than you think. You are creating the image by just placing shadows (darks) and highlights (lights) where you see them onto the canvas without a drawing to follow. Challenging but fun! This technique results in a much looser painting! I like the results! I haven't given this painting a name yet and as I showed in my newsletter, it didn't stay quite true to the reference, but I don't plan on hanging the reference on the wall next to it - Lol
