| For the love of painting and friendship!!!! in the bi-weekly classes. |
 |
| LESSON 1: This exercise was to emphasis the development of aerial perspective. The idea that the visual elements lessen in size, value and color intensity as they recede into the back of the painting. |
 |
| LESSON 2: This was an exercise in perspective and understanding the concept of warm and cool and the use of complimentary colors. |
 |
| LESSON 3: This was a lesson in perspective and composition. The road takes you to the left of the painting and the challenge was how to balance the painting and take your eye to the right. The addition of the hunters shack helped balance the work and bring your eye to the right side of the painting. Colors were also brighter and more intense in the front and more grayed and higher in value, all of this adding to the sense of depth and perspective. |
 |
| LESSON 4: This exercise was on developing a high key value painting and giving the painting a sense of depth. The wintery scene was perfect because while we were enjoying bright beautiful skies and warm weather here in Florida the rest of the country was knee deep in snow. |
 |
| LESSON 5: This lesson was to challenge the students to learn to simplify. They had to take a picture of a very complicated urban scene and edit and use only the essential elements to express the scene. |
 |
| LESSON 6: This takes aerial perspective to a new level. The original picture was taken from an airplane and is of a very industrial area, an environmental nightmare, with very little color. The challenge was getting that haze registered in the horizon and giving it a sense of depth while make an interesting painting with a message. |
