This scene has an irresistible combination of light, middle
and dark shapes, spiraling inward toward the center. If you take some time to
ask questions about which layer does what, you may gain a sense of confidence
about how to go about turning it into a painting.
For example, “When do the shapes get their final
definition?”
“Where do I need hard edges?”
“Can I afford to treat the lights very loosely?”
“How many layers will I need to do justice to the image?”
I’d love to see 15 versions (one from each of you, that is) of this same photo on the wall
next Wednesday. Please bring all your studies, as well as any masterpieces that
happen to occur.
