This week we discussed many of the same issues with focus on the following. (See Seung's piece for an example of how you will be graded.)
1. Pay CLOSE attention to your values and the subtle differences between them... especially for the areas that are entirely in shadow. LOOK AT YOUR PHOTOS OR FIND NEW GOOD ONES
2. Understand the ESSENCE of the subject your painting. This means close attention to the direction and formation of your rock structures, tree types and water. Remember also that the distance something is away from your viewer dramatially affects the scale at which you draw it.
