Brass Pot

10 x 8 Oil on Canvas Board Last year I was lucky enough to see a demo by David Leffel. I am total hooked on Chiaroscuro Style painting. "Chiaroscuro" literally means light/dark. In Chiaroscuro painting, your eye follows the light. The light gives the picture its flow-it takes the eye from one place to another, and the shadows structure the painting. Quoted from Oil Painting Secrets from a Master, by Linda Cateura.

Hi there Mary, long time no see. Love this painting, so dramatic. Have you ever checked out Daniel Edmondson's work? There is a link to him on my blog. He is offering online lessons, I just ordered one. You pick out the set up you want to paint, he sends you the photo and a link to him painting a good part of the painting and a link to him telling about his supplies. He will critique it at the end and help you through it if you need him. Only $25 so it seems like a deal. Hope things are good in your life.

Ah, yes ! I saw David Leffel in Colorado last fall at the American Artist weekend. He was not one of the ones I studied with but, did see a few demos with him.
As an outdoor painter, I feel light is the most important subject !
Just missed the demo you were at this year as I was teaching my annual Longboat Key workshop the same time...
