Painting Goal - Try out Charles Reid's advice to rely on local color as the foundational design theme, not contrast. To watch the video about this new approach, go to https://youtu.be/yBME7UTOPpk
Key Takeaways -
* You do not need to use my exact colors. Focus more on getting accurate values.
* Your painting will not look like mine. It will look like yours.
* Paint this AT LEAST twice if you are not a super advanced artist.
* If you are a beginner I recommend painting this on cold press paper

www.rachelsstudio.com/tutorialindex for links to tutorials, my supply list, and other pages of interest. My index is roughly organized from best, newest, and most topical (holidays) at the top and as you move down, the tutorials get older and less popular in general. At the bottom you’ll find my gosh awful first attempts at tutorials haha. Bless those of you who stayed with me through those days!
