Serious Shadow


sold

This is another little scene from NYC. I'm still playing around with my brush hold, and really paying attention to where the darkest values are, and not going as dark anywhere else. Do you see how the dark values on the right side of the street are not as dark as those on the cars and left side?

Since my book is coming out in less than a month, I thought I'd tantalize you with some shots of the inside. To start with, here's the table of contents (click to see larger) -->

More expensive on Kindle than paperback??? ($20 vs $14). What is going on with Amazon?

Thanks you guys! I thought I had a good handle on value, but there is always more to learn!

Tom, I completely agree. I've heard the explanation before, about why it's like that, and it's super complicated. Ugh.
