Block Study 10/06/10


I worked on a yellow, green and orange block study today. I worked a long time getting the dulls right. It was difficult to get the yellow dull and then the orange shadow dull. I haven't had that problem before but I wasn't pushing it as dull as I did in this study.
It was full sun with a few clouds passing over. I didn't have to wait long. Lastly, I had to correct my drawing a few times.
Before painting this study, I identified my darkest dark and my light. I saw my brightest was the orange and the lightest was my table top. My dullest was my yellow and my orange shadow. The orange shadow was duller and darker than the yellow shadow. The darkest was the side shadow of the green block.
