Getting a Head Start


When ever I go to a demonstration I have a huge desire to paint instead of listening to the painter.  To overcome that urge, I have been going early to the location and painting.

I picked this composition because it was close to the meeting spot and I liked the value contrast of the boulders.  I was painting on a orange board which is always tricky.  The question is how much of the board is allowed to show through.  Too much and the painting is garish; too little and painting is too tame.

This is the point where I stopped.  Jeff had gotten to the location and I did not want to be rude.  After all, this is why I came here.
