The Saturday plein air group visited the historic Southwest Museum for a recent paint-out. It was my fourth time painting at the hilltop museum. I really enjoy the view from the parking lot of the various surrounding neighborhoods. Rooftop views are always interesting to me and something different to paint. On our previous visit I painted a watercolor looking north, Hilltop View. It's a downtown area in that view. This time I looked southwest for a more residential view with hillsides toward downtown Los Angeles way off in the distance.

What a tough perspective! You did this one great, Sherry. Foreground, midground, and background.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry...always nervous about trying these views.
DeleteAlways love your take, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteThank You Joani!
DeleteA little deconstructing on my part but it gives me insight - with a structure, if you lay a base down it can be just the shape of the structure, Right? but then you go back and drop in the shadows. I may have been doing it the other way around fearing I would loose luminosity. Confused? so am I
ReplyDeleteI think dropping in shadows later is the usual, but then maybe you're right about the luminosity...hmmm.
