Sunlight in the Shadows

Voy Kay 29 Oct 2020

A quickie in between more serious stuff. I wanted to do this one because I intend to complete season 27. Besides that, I do like Dana Jesters' style as well. Yet I keep asking myself why he somehow neglected the right side of the painting.
This is a fast painting but requires a lot of attention to light/shadow work as well as some serious steady handling of the 1 inch brush (in my case) for foliage and grass.
This was never painted with my full heart, I admit, and it remains hard for me to handle a 1" brush on smaller canvasses (I painted this on a canvasboard 10"x12").

Please enjoy some (NEW) articles and till next creation!

Voy, this is great painting! The eye travels to that light to escape the dark forest. I think if there are too many details on the right that would attract attention and would argue with the highest point of contrast in this painting.

The more I look at this painting Sunnylady, the more I learn to love it. I wished I had paid far more attention to the trees on the right but I thought they were going to be covered so ....
This would work a lot better on a bigger canvas, that's my best tip for everybody!

Voy, I really like how this turned out. Iā€™m so curious to follow that path and see the wonders in the light.

Tom, it is worth to try! A good tip I can give you is to watch the full apisode up front, so that you have a pretty good idea what will be coming to you. And yes, pay (moren then me!) attention to the right side trees and give them a better finish without using highlights.

Success!.

Is that the one, for Bob's birthday, where all his fans paint the same creation and it's combined into one video?

@doggymommee8301, @Voy Kay.
Yes. And here is the link. https://youtu.be/WJwgav2k7H4
