THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EFFORTS YOU PUT TO TEACH US. Your work is amazing. I was wondering about the painting behind you (sitting on the table), is there a video to it, the cloudy sky? Was is acrylic paint? Thank you in advance for your reply and time. Best wishes.
Yes, Maha Zappa, the painting behind me is a cloudy sky right after a rain. It is done with oils. Unlike a lot of painters, I don't run a camcorder while I am doing my own work, so there is not a video of it being done.
Hi, Dianne! I often go back and consult with the previous quick tips. This one is an excellent road map. What always puzzled me, however, is how to approach a vast, flat desert landscape where the images are dispersed : a low bush here, a tree there, a cactus or two...and so on. Everything is scattered. How is it possible to plan a preliminary drawing the usual way: 3 - 4 large combined shapes? Would this make a good quick tip; or, could you please give me some written guidelines? Wishing yo a healthy winter, Carol. All the best.
Carol, when you learn to see according to light and shadow rather than the individual images--bush, tree, cactus, etc--then you learn to group those according to their value range first. Even in a flat desert landscape, you see what you see because of what the light is doing. All values and colors are determined by that.
Point well taken, Dianne, about responding only to where the light falls (or doesn't.)@@IntheStudioArtInstructionI I've been looking at different desert scenes and other flat landscapes. I suppose I would group those in shadow, for example, in a loose, arbitrary way since the images are so dispersed and unrelated. Would it be doable in that way?
Sorry. I had also intended asking you: do you do a notan first, and then just block in the in-shadow shapes first and then proceed from there? With thanks once again for your practical clarifications.
You are one of my most favorite tutor....I learn so much from these quick tips.🙂 I hope this comment motivates to make more of these videos. 🤗🤗

Yes, the first thing I always do after the drawing is to find the light and shadow pattern. That is the purpose of notan.
Crazy timely 😄 was just about to start one and wondering the same thing
Have fun with it.
Thanks Dianne
My pleasure.
