Warm & Cool


She was waiting to cross and I wondered if she was heading home or to another store. The light was warm and the shadows cool. I had it the other way around on the lady's jacket and it dint look right until I corrected it. I then realized how important it was to get the temperatures right! A bit more of shadow work would have made the painting more 'grounded'. I was surprised though that many people pointed this one out among others as their favorite painting! I find quite a bit of difference between using canvas panels & gesso boards. The canvas panels need more strokes to scrub in the colors while the gesso boards being more slick take lesser time.
