I've sketched around the world from curiousity since childhood. I so much enjoyed this monochrome sketching in a dark concert room at a fringe festival. It was challenging to define values. I carefully observed a singer and decided to use a two-value drawing technique. Once, I got the "feeling" of sorting out values, it became easy! I chose the grey mixed of French Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna. Then, interesting colours came up naturally. Have fun!
Night scenes and dark rooms require different approaches and techniques. Have you ever tried them? If you know how to do it and share it, please inform me. I want to capture light and shadow. This experiment gives me some idea.
Now, hope you'll have a wonderful productive week.
Happy Painting, Friends!!
Curiousity 2, two value drawing
What a wonderful piece, Sadami! No, I have never done night scenes or dark room painting or drawing, but this is really intriguing, encouraging! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank u very much, Chris! Yes, give it a go and have fun. Handling value is the key that makes a drama. Cheers, Sadami
