'Shoreline Prussian Blue'

NFS

Another shoreline study. This palette did not have Mars black, so I opted for Prussian blue instead to create my darks. I haven't used this hue before in this way....... but I am quite pleased with the result. Weeks of studying the light and dark patterns in clouds has begun to pay off too. Maybe the background is a little too stylistic? ....... but study completed :-)

'Autumnal Shore'

NFS

This is a quick study using a spectrum palette 'set' my my VAA tutor. Having spent a while studying clouds and skies recently I tried to make use of this with the lights and the darks of Form too. 

'Misty Morning'

NFS

This quick study is one of my 'Colour' assignments. I am learning how colour saturation and value turn Form together, rather than just using values alone. This was a quick study of a ewe sheltering away from the mizzle, gazing at her yearling lamb intent on eating rather than shelter. The pale green of the meadow has photographed too yellow in hue.....

'Shadowed Skink'

NFS

Lots of studies for shadows, values, and hues......... inspired me to paint this little skink. It is an interpretation of a photograph taken in Zambia this year.
