Art Lesson No. 1 - Capturing Light


A painting is made more pleasing to the eye with the right mix of light and shadows.  Here's an actual still life composition I arranged for illustration.

From this . . .

About the Artist

My photo
Sherie
ditched her corporate job to follow her dream of becoming an artist and raise two boys who keep her guessing everyday what the next big, elbow greasing adventure is going to happen. She now 'sometimes' paints and create in the wee hours of the mornings or late nights, often forgetting she left work to do just that. She now channels her corporate powers to organizing her hectic life as a wife of the funniest (and sweetest) man she's known and mom of two boys who shower her everyday with lip-smacking smooches. She enjoys home brewed tea, teaching and practicing yoga, martial arts and running.
