Lesson 2 - more light and shadow

I had my lesson today, and she liked my homework! She said I 'Got it'. Today we did a little with drawing things at a distance... How things lose contrast and tonal value is muted. Then we did a simple stone block wall in watercolor and discussed how light and shadow play on uneven surfaces. (felt like I was drawing the Wailing Wall!) We only used watery black watercolor - "We will discuss colors later". My homework for the week: Practice a stone block wall. Not very exciting but necessary practice! lol Craggy surfaces and fissures here I come!
