Summer Sketchbook Project

Day 6

I think I've lost a day somewhere! This is my study of tone and shadow. I did what Sian said not to do and started with my apple which is dark in colour. It was also the evening so I thought I would need to use a light. I found it almost impossible to see any differences in tone.

I then grabbed the nearest white object - a paint palette. I turned it upside down. This was better but I still had trouble seeing the tone.

I came back into the room about half an hour later when it was quite gloomy. The tones on the palette really showed up in this light. The light is from the back to the right of the palette.


I think I need to practice this a bit more but I think I've got more of an understanding than I had before.
