Maintain the integrity of the local value of every form. Paint the black, black and the white, white as it appears. The light will unify the values. One fleck of light on the dark will serve to bring the whole form into light.

Trees and dragons
Over at Inspiration All Around Us, this month’s challenge is a dull pic of a dull tree reflected in a dull pond. I decided to take a quick whack at it to see if I could make it a little … Continue reading
The trouble with leaves
I made three different attempts on those dang birch leaves. I finally went with creating my own brush, traced from a photo of birch leaves. They’re kind of all over the place, owing to me going, “What does this Jitter … Continue reading
