Tomales Church - Work In Progress
12 x 16 oil on Raymar canvas panel
I want to capture the light in this painting. I am also paying attention to the various colors I see and putting them down even if they don't make sense to me - I fight with "what I know" - (or think I know) vs. what I see. I can't count the times I have heard "Paint what you see, not what you know." Being a logical person, that should be a piece of cake to put into practice...it amazes me how difficult it actually is. Must be a
left/right brain thing :O)
