I'm getting a better handle on values because I can see, when in my broken color handling, I start fracturing the larger form.<br />At my easel in MN we discussed briefly my concerns about compressing values, avoiding white, shifting to a lower key for better color etc. You were kind and funny and a little exasperated when you said "just paint it like you see it".Judy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09176284042670900772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-18510799826212918412012-11-19T09:27:38.941-05:002012-11-19T09:27:38.941-05:00It was great meeting you and this painting in pers...It was great meeting you and this painting in person.

I needed the reminder that we teach students to see what is actually seen in the full value range BEFORE they are instructed how to artistically interpret what they see through value compression. Second, not only has Richard Schmidt influenced the practice of painting with limited values but Quang Ho teaches this idea. He calls it "local tone" or value structure which is one of the visual approaches along with light and shadow. I look forward to the value exercise you mentioned earlier.

I've heard you mention a new value exercise you have your students do now that you weren't doing when I took your Charleston workshop. Any insights into that?Billy Guffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630378626972553684noreply@blogger.com
