| Jekyll Island |
Last November I visited Jekyll Island. I was very
impressed with all the beautiful colors in the marsh.

| Reference photo used to create the painting. |

The pastel work area was set up so I could see both a value and
a colored rendition of the reference.
I printed out the
reference photo in color black and white to give me a understanding of the
values in the scene. I also displayed the photo on a monitor next to my easel.
, then made a little test sheet of the colors/values I wanted to use. Using my
newly sorted values made painting the scene a snap.
Hmmmmm, -- for some reason the color in my photo of the painting (first photo in this post) came out
more saturated than the actual painting ( as you can see the difference from the last
photo posted_ shown on the easel.) The real color of the painting is actually
somewhere between the two photos. Clearly I will have to spend some time learning to use my camera.
