Lesson Discussion

  1. How come the starting background is a dark color? Did you paint in a dark color first? What are you starting with? Confusing. Are you using medium in the paint? I can’t tell the application of light colors. Are you working with color right out of the tube? Did you mix up several values of the same hue? Don’t understand.

    • I’m loving this course and learning a lot, but I find the background music both distracting and intensely irritating. Is there any way I can turn it off?

  2. What are you using for a pencil? Is this a white charcoal, or some other type? Are there pencil types that are best, or those to try to avoid? Thanks!
