1st art lesson

Tonight I had my first art lesson with Bernie Rosage. We are going to meet for 2 hours a week for the next 2 months. I am really trusting to get valuable information. I think if tonight was a sample then I am doing the right thing. We did a value study. I know most of you know what that is but for those who do not, a value study is just doing a picture (or study) in one color varying the value of the colors to project perspective. Darker items in the foreground and as things recede into the distance they get lighter. The "path" is actually a river or creek but could be whatever. That is where the color would dictate what it is. Thanks for looking, Dean
