In Donna Zagotta's blog today she talks about how she became sensitive to seeing...especially shadows.
Having just taught a beginner watercolor on shadows and how to paint them...I have been re-senstized to that same thing.
Both of these things: blogs and teaching, have the effect of re-opening your eyes. Be sure to read her blog today!!!
Here is a photo I took on the walk back to the car after the art show in Mt. Dora. I LOVED the cast shadows and I want to do something with this composition soon.
Below are two of Donna's examples on her blog today of an original interior shot and then her painting with the shadows. A picture is worth a thousand words. Donna uses an opaque process with watercolor and gouache and you can order her video about this technique on her blog. But whatever medium you use...seeing how she transforms this photo reference into art is magic!
