My apologies to those who are following my blogs, as the title states last month was very busy. The reason for this hectic life of an artist is that I was working on 3 subjects. Every other year I design and paint my Christmas cards, truth be told its normally December before I got around to them in the past, burning the candle at both ends. This year I was good, ahead for once!
For many years I have looked at so many artists online and never really had the confidence to put my quick sketches out there online.
This picture I took with my phone, as I was taking part in a plein air competition the weekend of August. A few weeks before, I went to the area the where the plein air, was being held and I took a lot of photos to use a preliminary sketches at home.
When I take photos on my phone or camera, I will always convert them to black and white as this helps me see where the tonal values. In other words, where are the darkest areas, mid-tones and lightest tonal areas.
