I liked ...The in progress seascape does look good.<br /><br />I liked Stape's idea that laying in initially with just two colors is almost like drawing in charcoal- that it helps him concentrate on getting the drawing of his shapes just right. <br /><br />I love playing around with color, but at the end of the day I feel it's the character of how one draws one's shapes that matters most of all. This two color lay in idea is a good way to introduce color early in the making of the painting without letting things get too complicated.

I never thought of using that particular combination for an underpainting, I'll need to give it a try.<br /><br />One thing I've been meaning to ask you, kind of unrelated to this- a lot of painters talk about keeping the shadows transparent, some with strictly transparent paint, but most just saying to go for the effect of it. I especially hear a lot of classical method people insist on keeping white out of the shadows entirely. Do you have any advice about handling this for landscapes? My landscape teacher from a few months back (Dean Larson) would have us go for the transparent "look" by avoiding solidly colored shadows, but beyond that I still don't really have a grasp of the idea, aside from not putting in a lot of detail.Sidharth Chaturvedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04329696059787949153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-49063572135437729632010-08-29T00:33:31.947-04:002010-08-29T00:33:31.947-04:00That's a great idea!
