Course work: Put a few more small areas of paint on the color study for Stage Two of Project One. I don’t think that I should take this much further and still consider it a color study. I think that I made an error by making it about the same size as the planned actual painting. I am beginning to wonder if I made a bad color choice for my drapery.
Reading and theoretical studies:
E. H. Gombrich Art and Illusion (11th Printing)
Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey, USA, 1969
Pp. 146-202
Sketchbook work: On a day of very disturbed weather, with cumulus, cumulonimbus, altocumulus, stratus, altostratus, and cirrus clouds simultaneously visible, I did four quick half-page sky sketches, in two drawing most of the cloud-forms in, and in two erasing most out. None of the four is highly satisfactory, but they do give the impression of the extremely unstable weather.
Time today: 1 hour 9minutes
