THURSDAY WIP

Here are the patio chairs again!  (Final time, I promise!)

I left this painting at this stage to show my classes how important value is.

We joked that only "Flat Stanley" could sit on the chair on the left - but the chair on the right now has depth - we could sit down on that chair!

So many struggle with value.  This picture shows a dramatic "before" and "after" on how to use value easily and effectively.

Great example Deb - I especially need it because value is certainly a hard one for me. Take care and have a super weekend.

Beautiful, Deb!

I am, as usual, amazed by the level of (believable) detail you achieve.
A very inviting scene!
