Mixing light and dark values

simplifying a busy scene and more!

WHY THIS PHOTO/SCENE?

I always ask myself "why this scene?"

the answer will be something like:

  • I like the umbrella
  • people
  • It’s fun and busy
  • I like the dark background with the light on objects in the foreground
  • I haven't painted a flower "market" before, a new little challenge
  • It’s handy

 

WHAT I DON’T LIKE OR DOESN’T HELP

lady keeps moving and when she sits she looks at her cell phone

rubbish photos I took

no customers!

there needs to be more flower stall paraphernalia - buckets, brooms, watering cans etc - I'll make them up

Amanda Brett - Watercolour Artist

Quality Guarantee: Quality Guarantee: All my watercolours are painted with only modern professional grade watercolour paints on Museum exhibition grade watercolour papers, they are extremely lightfast and will become a family heirloom and passed down to subsequent generations. ALL art of ANY medium should be hung away from direct sunlight. If​ properly cared for, watercolour paintings will last as long, if not longer, than oil paintings. I only paint on 100% cotton rag paper, mostly Arches and Fabriano, and frame to conservation standard with acid free materials.
