I also used the natural tone of the colors to determine the overall tone of the painting this has caused it to look darker in natural light as opposed to my studio lighting, and this is not the way I want to go. I will add a series of people along the sidewalk in front of the windows. I began my fall 2000 painting class having no crystalized objectives or expectations. I plan on taking the same art class under the same art teacher in 2001 - I will then compare the results from the two classes. I have seen light marks in dark areas used to prevent a hole like appearance in the work.
Texture varies with the color application method.
