Practice

On Tuesday night, I practiced some thumbnails using pictures from Ely. This feels awkward, but I know I need to practice this skill. It should help with seeing value shapes better. For the sunset reflected in the water, I like the second attempt (the one on the right better).

I also tried a quick one of a scene outside a window. It's hard figuring out how to do this!

Last, but not least, I practiced paint strokes for painting evergreens. There were beautiful evergreens up in Ely and I'm not sure how to paint them. Rather than committing to a painting, I thought I'd just play around and see what happened.
