'North wall' of Pasadena

Did a little digi plein-airing tonight! Learned quite a bit about indicating mountains. Painting the strokes along the 'form' of the mountain is the obvious one, but also how to look for overlapping ridges- by terminating the strokes along an invisible line where one ridge comes in front of another, you can show a bit more depth. It's a basic painting principle, but it took some patience and focus to understand what was happening visually.

Exciting projects this term: will post the first one in it's entirety in about two weeks or so. Until then! Thanks for looking.

going to try and fit in some personal work here and there this term, seems like a great way to let information sink in.

Still flailing about uncontrollably while trying to appear competent...
