no different type of weather this was a great day and rocks make a good foreground see so these rocks are more rounded and the other the rocks in this painting are more of a square feeling about them and then i had this painting this was a really big rock that i liked i like the way the light hit it and and so i have the number like focusing on on it right here in the shape of this rock is more like an egg shape and so let's talk about our basic we're always have to simplify the idea and if we know these basic shapes we can do that so so i could start these rocks out like you know i have to know where the lights coming from and order to know where the shadow might put a rock here are characteristics that all rock savvy even if you're painting the west coast you know if you're in california or oregon earth or even painting in the mountains of the west you still have to know throw these cracks in and you'll see these in maine a lot all that is just you know what the light was hitting here was sitting behind the rock hitting the top and then this was in shadow was broken up into three big sections so that we can do that very quickly and very easily through the leslie you know through through cracks and the like th when the when he would be crashing back there so it's time to think what else i could tell you about these before we get in the paint but that's really the basic idea  for the do very detailed drawings and then they could use those drawings and the painting they decided to do later in the studio and i've done that myself also my i'm someone who cares about smiles and i live and work in your community i'm the one who puts a smile on your child's face i'm an orthodontist a dental specialist who corrects crooked teeth misaligned jaw and dental regularity i received an additional two to three years of specialized education beyond all school oh my i'm the maker of healthy beautiful smiles for more information visit brac welcome back let's start painting some more snow here and some medium and we'll just very thinly draw some rocks and these will be for grown rocks remember i'm going to come to light coming from the left here we always have to know where the sun is when we play to draw a little shadow there are a little bit of a shadow there water color sort of like orange curtain of color which i can use when i paint the rocks it'll come through when i paint the rocks let's put a usually when i paint a landscape i'll paint remove backgrounds forward we're just doing a close up here in the sky seeing the idea in the concept gray in there and just make it a little give a little more b so this is the beginning of the value for my shadow and so dark i want that in the foreground so it'll be lighter let's put a shadow here will say iraq is coming this way squint my eyes a lot so i can close down the light and just see the subject matter so i will see the sun is coming across the light planes that i'm putting on now see this is my third value i have this well you this dark this middle tone and now where the light was so you know even if i was painting an apple i break it up into three values like that but great great artist worth looking up and then i have a small brush i have a sable brush here see this little sable and if you can see that suits are the put up against the pate to number then start putting some cracks in that rock more color in that also like on the top points and put some peanuts in white so let's take some white titanium white here and cadmium re peak will show that the sunlight really really give the effect of sunlight so just a little touch here and there there is a more of a color vibration say i have some light on the loose rock back here put more pink you know who i'm sure will look like that's behind this because this rock has more yellow in it here the darker okkar i can just watch that on there and not all go back compared to that let's look at one more idea here soon here are some yellow ochre some pure oak earth and that would come back up into that rock about here so i know that th let's get a little bit of blue sky in here take some white put some cobalt blue with that see the blue will turn that we have to get a little bit of the sky in there just a little bit more even let's take some lemon yellow and white a little and try to keep the brushwork crisp especially knowing roxanne wanted to be strong and crisp and with a loaded brush and today here's my dark again here there is black darkest but that's one of the laws of nature like the very rich and the do this also helps push the light over here you see so that works because i want your attention here so think of the sky in the the sun creating a path of light right to my subject right there my focus that's what i'm interested in and the these are old master concepts you know it by home vote if you look at my website james so cal ski dot com you'll see my paintings on there and you know there are a lot more detail than this but all the same concepts i'm talking about and i also have  my workshop listings on the website will destroy that water in there
