Color came afterward, and temperature shifts were only used in the lights to modulate. It came out much better. Better value, better edges.

I noticed in the little picture for your profile that you are set up on the location that Aldro Hibbard was on, in the post on Gloucester easels I wrote a coup[le of months ago.

Often when I paint with an artist for the first time they will use a phrase and I will stop them and say, explain that. I then realize they have a part of the puzzle I don't, because of a several word description of it. I then snatch their piece of the puzzle and run away.<br />.......StapeStapleton Kearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226409516935208164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-62408889630186078562009-04-25T10:31:00.000-04:002009-04-25T10:31:00.000-04:00Steven:

I have heard about blurring edges out of the center of interest area and I have "weighted" areas by increasing contrasts and lightening beside darks, but NEVER thought about darkening an area to reduce its impact. These tips are really the meat and potatoes of the game.
