Even if I am working from photographs I have to have a sense of the whole while I am working, esp if I am working with watercolor or pencil. Ink is a bit different but even there I tend to move around, working on different areas and even going back to do some rework (usually darkening). Glad to read there are good reasons for not working corner to corner.Kathleen Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270559181258839289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433515488823955689.post-79774337549452315102012-04-19T00:49:06.482-07:002012-04-19T00:49:06.482-07:00I was fortunate to have a teacher (like you) who i...I was fortunate to have a teacher (like you) who insisted that we constantly move around the page, that we use unifying washes, that each color used must appear more than once on the page or canvas to bring the painting together. This is particularly important with watercolor, which can otherwise look like a paint-by-numbers endeavour when you isolate colors and areas. Thanks for the clear and illuminating lecture!Melliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095407632265293378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433515488823955689.post-66861433692289315702012-04-18T13:40:04.557-07:002012-04-18T13:40:04.557-07:00Very interesting, Jackie.

Renoir used to comment on this, IIRC, since as you say, each new touch of color changes all that went before. It's all relative!<br /><br />for many years I taught drawing to adults, usually in grayscale, and often pointed out to them that what they were worried about in a drawing wasn't the problem -- it was the part next to it that needed attention. Same with juxtaposition of color, except that you can present yourself with an insoluble problem unless you take steps as you explain, to avoid that awful fate.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433515488823955689.post-89996001702381836112012-04-17T10:51:30.862-07:002012-04-17T10:51:30.862-07:00I bought your book for iPad and am loving it.
