This is the warm up, apples on black. They are getting easier. However, I am using a value finder, a red plastic thing you look through, which shows me the lighter value of the shadow side. Without it, I couldn't get it! I think I can train myself to expect that light, but on a mid value form I have trouble even seeing it. I am liking doing a warm up for 30-40 minutes each day, something about that term makes it seem like it doesn't really count, so there is no strain.
This is Pofac, Queen of Cats. This painting is in trade for the self portrait of my student which is now hanging on my portrait wall.
