I wanted some elbow room on this one.Brad Tearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311014022243382658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200138797648475238.post-9359203909301642013-09-05T13:52:51.873-06:002013-09-05T13:52:51.873-06:00A few days ago I made a small rough sketch in prep...A few days ago I made a small rough sketch in preparation for next weeks' show. I see your sketch is fairly large and detailed. It's interesting that you're using the gray scale for the values. I think I'll do a larger sketch too.<br /><br />I did make some changes though from the original reference photo. I felt the need for more dark masses, so I added two more trees. One large one on the right side and a smaller tree further down the road on the left side - creating a stonger perspective. I also wanted more contrast between the darker and brighter colors of the valley below.<br /><br />Looking forward to the show.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934521823449748294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200138797648475238.post-14000525027564152622013-09-05T12:27:03.137-06:002013-09-05T12:27:03.137-06:00Using the grayscale is great while sketching.

Lessons learned: 1) I just took off sketching with no thought as to composition. You revealed some great points in terms of composition. 2). Surprised how light my shading is compared to yours....so used the gray scale and quickly realized there was not enough contrast in value.<br />Looking forward to Concert Window next week.Matt DeForehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272304354404370753noreply@blogger.com
