Working with Shadows

So yesterday, we finished our observational piece from an image Larry took somewhere in Canandaigua. I like it! The shadow aspect of this piece is really cool. In order to achieve, I just went over the already painted areas with a blue wash. For the shadow wash, I mixed mostly ultramarine blue with a little bit of windsor blue and burnt sienna. The most important thing I got out of working with this piece was not going back in specifically with the glaze. For the shadow, we used a technique called glazing which just means going over a painted area with another. As tempting as it gets to go back into it after the first stroke, don't. But I do like the final piece.
