Course work: Work continues on the Project Two painting.  My primary effort remains getting adequate coverage and approximate tone and color.

Reading and theoretical studies:

Sarah Simblett The Drawing Book

Dorling Kindersley, London, 2004

Pp. 196-217

Sketchbook work: A fourth sketch of the cedar tree, in acrylics.  Three of these were done by afternoon light, and the fourth by morning light.  Colors used were ultramarine blue, yellow ochre, cadmium yellow light, and burnt siena. This series of sketches will prove useful, as the cedar tree will figure in the next painting project.
