Color-Value sketch video of “Turret Arch”
Greetings, here is a time lapse video of me painting a small (11 x 14 inches) color-value sketch. This type of small painting or sketch will help me as I design and create a larger oil painitngs. One thing I discovered as I made this little sketch of Turret Arch in Snow was an interesting rhythm created by the alternating snow and sandstone patterns on both sides of the image. When I create the larger painting I will try to emphasize those patterns. I also discovered a value shift I need to make between the sky and the sun lite sandstone. Ideas like these are just a couple of the reasons why I like to paint smaller versions of the landscapes I eventually paint large.
I hope you enjoyed this little video. If you are interested in this little painting or any other works you see here contact me. Check out what I have on Ebay this week.
