Oil 20" x 20"
Day 22 in the 30 in 30 Days Challenge
At this point I've started adding color to the barn. I painted the largest dark mass first, which is the shadow side of the barn. Then I painted the light side of the barn. This side has light as well as shadow from the silo. I'm not sure if the light side is light enough, even though it's pretty close to the value. Since a color mass is not accurate until seen in relationship to the color next to it, I'll have to wait until the sky and roof are in to know for sure if the light side is light enough.
When looking at the value study, I decided that even thought the trees and bushes on the right of the barn created one large shape, it wasn't working. So I removed those and added a shed, or barn continuation onto that side. (That was an easy remodel!) Now the building and composition work better due to the continuation off the page.
To be continued...
