Zoom with students about:
-The simple Light/Shadow Value Formula to paint realistic sunshine
-Masterwork examples (blossoms and gardens)
-Concepts of light/shadow groups
-Examine warm/cool colors (same value, shift the color)
-Techniques to adjust photo reference
Take a 'walk in YOUR neighborhood and see what you can see.' Start simple with observation + value. Next see if you can find same value/color shift.
Next we look at master work examples and then the student critique!
