Warm Light

IMG_7706I continue to find that I like to paint the light. The photos or scenes that catch my attention the most have some sort of a strong impact created by the light. I really want to explore this more. I am finding that it takes quite a bit of practice to see the effects of light correctly. You almost need to outsmart your brain when painting in order to correctly evaluate the colors and values that you see. Challenging!

About Artwithmycoffee

I live in Juneau, Alaska where the inspiration in nature abounds! I love taking photos of this beautiful place and then painting them. In 2013 I left my job in order to devote more time to my artwork. One of the ways I have been learning, is through online tutorials. I have been so encouraged with the amount of information that people share about their artwork. A few of my favorite sites are: Tuscon Art Academy on line, mhttp://thecompleteartist.ning.com/ by Richard Robinson, and http://www.dailypaintworks.com/ with Carol Marine. These have been extremely helpful as I have been working at my painting. This year my goal is to paint almost daily and to try to get outdoors more and paint en plein air (or out doors from life). I also hope to come up with something interesting to blog about it all ( =
