Day 4 Hollyhocks - South Mountain, AZ

Day 3 was an indoor painting day. Charles had a model come into the school for a day's worth of figure painting. For some reason, I can't find the photos of this day's session. Rats.
Day 4 of the ws saw us going to a farm located south of Scottsdale. Charles did this wonderful demo of a group of hollyhocks. The thing I remember the most about this demo was the way he developed the background hill. He brushed on a shape of pure yellow and then followed it with Ultramarine blue and Cerulean blue. He mixed the paint right on the canvas to develop the rich greens you see here. Amazing results!Posted by Picasa
