This week in Linda's pastel class we worked on our "series" paintings. Our assignment was to paint a landscape and then using different angles and cropping painting several more paintings. In effect one photo has many paintings in that photo and by changing color, composition and value one can paint some great paintings.
This was a break thought moment for me. I was focusing on the photo as a whole and wasn't thinking about changing anything. The light bulb went on....and just by changing a few things the painting instantly becomes more interesting.
