This is my painting, Don Jusko,  on day two, the first day was a lecture and drawing on location only. Some of us started laying in color. Day 3.

James Redden.

This is James's second painting. It shows everything we talked about. Making ultramarine blue with purple or magenta and cyan. Drawing distances on concentric lines around you by following the top edges of forms. You can see James did this very well in the drawing. All of his patterns are outlined. His distant colors are made of the split complenent colors purple and green, his foreground darks for green are made from the complements magenta and green. When painting in the patterns in.. it is best to paint areas in all the way up to the line, jump a pattern and leave it white and start another non attached pattern while the first pattern is drying.

More Tips

The sharp white line with the dark shadow was made by cutting into the paper at a slant and bending it back at the cut. Yes, the line can be colored in.

The jumping scratch was made by scratching the paper with the point of the razor. Here I completely replaced a color by sand papering it out with 150 grid wet or dry sandpaper. Use it dry :)
