Just finished a wonderful 2 day workshop with Artist Terry Isaac, who paints beautiful animals, landscapes, birds and more that are so close to reality that you can often not tell they are not a photograph.
This was a real stretch for me as I have not painted this way. I took the workshop because I believe you can always learn something more.... and I did. Terry has a gift not only for painting but also for teaching. I was able to understand more clearly the meaning "value", "elements of design", and I especially learned about glazing/washes... with acrylic paints... something that I had found confusing in the past.
So.... I suppressed my urge to paint this raven in blue and orange as was my first instinct, and instead reigned myself in and really learned. I'm quite proud of my painting that we all did using a photograph taken by Terry.
Below is my grizzly... I also resisted painting him yellow and purple... LOL... and although I am not quite finished him.... i've made a great start.
Learning is good :)
