Friday 18 February 2011




Course work: Mixed cadmium yellow light with touches of ultramarine blue and alizarin crimson to produce a serviceable substitute for yellow ochre, then used this mixture with white and cadmium yellow light to start adding some tone to the armchair.





Reading and theoretical studies:

(The author starts at the beginning and works his way through the entire corpus of perspective. Abundant illustrations, step-by-step procedures, and clear explanations make this an excellent text for the student interest in understanding perspective.)

Sketchbook work: In my pocket sketchbook, a tiny (4mm) flower, the first harbinger of approaching spring in our area, usually about five weeks before the last frost.
