Fun color and confident brushwork happen from knowing the structure of a painting: Value (Light, Medium and Dark); and "Big Shapes".
This large painting is similar to the Stream demo in Lesson one but goes a step further with size and a larger area of submerged rocks.
24x36" oil on Centurion Linen pre-streched canvas. All media primed.
"Adobe" custom mix from Vasari is shown in the mixing section. I show how this color can be made.
More videos on understanding value and big shapes can be found in the Learning Library under "Fundamentals"
