It's ...I know that Get It phenomenon very well. It's a wonderful moment for both the teacher and the student. I had that happen to me as a student this past weekend during a portrait block-in workshop. The focus was to get the shadows blocked in before adding the details of the face. I really needed this! The instructor did exercises with the timer, telling us how many seconds or minutes we had to get the shadows blocked in for each pose. One time, he said we had 30 seconds, so I rushed like crazy to just hash in those shadows. Then he called time, and said 'I lied, I'm giving you 10 minutes for htis one, but see how you've already got the basic shapes on the paper now?. Anyway, this painting is beautiful. I love the glass and the violet colors. It conveys a sense of clarity and peace very effectively.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600673251180423439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462443774252872406.post-66215143787234684732012-11-28T00:33:22.318-08:002012-11-28T00:33:22.318-08:00Beautiful work on this painting.

I love the simplicity of the composition and limited color that really draws attention to the flower.Diana Moses Botkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254521493118166524noreply@blogger.com
