If you conceive dimensional first the 2d should work itself out. But thinking 3d is much more difficult.

I find, for me, working with a pallet knife often in layers, that Stapelton's painting construct of a tree as layers is more helpful. <br /><br />The lit leaves, the internal leaves and the tree trunk correspond to values as well. The tree holes being the layer furthest, in back of tree, are lighter than the lit leaves so they must be used with great restraint,purpose and structure and not as light as the overall sky.Is that assumption correct?mariandioguardi.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963944767715466681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-41703464828097180002010-01-12T13:37:45.056-05:002010-01-12T13:37:45.056-05:00So much of art seems to be finding order in the na...So much of art seems to be finding order in the natural visual chaos around us.

The landscape as a stage, with all the supporting actors giving depth to your painting? <br />The "Stu-op is a 24x32 building that my husband and I share. Don does woodworking with the cedar harvested from the "land of boz".<br />So his half is a shop, and my half is a studio. I work in heavy body acrylics. The oil and cedar shavings add a whole new meaning to multimedia. Oh,It sounded like I waited till it was warm to paint the snow. It was only 20 that day!<br />Thank you once more for sharing.

I feel the ...Thinking about Willek's commment:<br /><br />I feel the "tree as a ball" concept is useful, but it has to take a backseat to the more 2 dimensional ways of seeing Stape is talking about now. Making a painting is a complicated business, and then some. So we have to begin our seeing on a simpler level of of interlocking flat shapes that come together to make an arresting composition.<br /><br />When you see it done right, it is amazing just how much personality a well crafted flat silhouette (sky holes and all) can contain. Once you've nailed down a powerful 2d composition then you can start thinking about which of the flat shapes you might want to visualize in a more stated volumetric way.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-86884118437639579862010-01-12T08:58:33.126-05:002010-01-12T08:58:33.126-05:00Let me restate my comment.
