Come Fly With Me

Next week I want to teach my students the technique of graded washes and thought this scene would be doable at their level of skill and experience.  It's a fun painting using 3 shapes, 3 values and 3 colors. It will give them an opportunity to balance with notan and to noodle the foreground weeds and bric a brac. It will also teach them a way of using white in an area that's not snow. Great illusion of light.   I used to paint scenes like this quite often when I lived in Marshfield.
