painting #5: A cliff in the woods.

April 6, 2017

Having read "Daily Painting" by Carol Marine, I've decided to paint small and paint often.

painting #5:   A cliff in the woods.
4.5"x7"  on Strathmore 140# watercolor paper, and Winsor & Newton watercolour pan paints. 
A composition exercise in 'line & shape study'  from "Discover Oil Painting" by Julie Gilbert Pollard.

The exercise is to find the basic line shapes in a very complex photo and extract  a simplified version by outlining a few of the basic shapes you want to capture.

I really like the other pictures and projects in this book, love her colours and expressions.  Okay, I'm going to get my own copy and do the exercises.
