Learned about the Kelvin temp for light & the 7 shades of daylight
Drawing & painting Trees 3 main steps: 1. SHAPE 2. Form (value) 3. Texture. Exercise: Draw the main 8 shapes for trees. Exercise: shade those 8 samples with a specific light source in mind Exercise: Painting the image below keeping the shapes of branches in mind with their values stated
