I went out on Sunday with my son and we both painted this little saddleback steamer. It’s just rusting away and falling apart, which adds the the charm- I was trying to demo for my class the importance of simplifying your values right st the beginning- once the 2 value pattern is established, I then add the spots of color for the lights then shadows, keeping the values as contrasted as possible. Towards the end I add transitions and more sub divisions of temperature to help push the overall color ideas.
