I'm drawn to those ocean scenes with the cast shadows on the water, but they are all good problems to solve. You've already got some nice pieces. It's good that Randy is doing buildings for the workshop. In some ways, the planes of man-made objects exhibit more obvious behavior about local color, bounce, fill, etc, but then you have all those damn edges to deal with. <BR/>Either way, it is a good workout. Why should everthing be easy? You would be bored if it was. <BR/>Sleep well, and go out and paint more! Looking forward to seeing the whole week's work posted. <BR/><BR/>As far as getting the color right online, forget it. Just go for ballpark good. People are looking at these images on plasma, crt, lcd, etc. There's no way it will look the same on them. My work looks different from home to the office. What you can do is study your preview posts before you publish. That might help you find a standard, or happy medium for balancing color and exposure online. <BR/><BR/>Paint away, Sharon. Sierras will be fun. (no buildings) ;-)<BR/><BR/>-B.Bill Conehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852367461802236749noreply@blogger.com
