All I see are textured, loose masses with scattered forms, with little bits of shadow mass here and there. Usually the value contrasts are not great either. Unless there is a building or rock as the main focus, how do you start, and then direct, yourself in such a scene?<br />Your posts are always interesting and instructive- thank you!Judy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09176284042670900772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218628147494563280.post-88291632379236909032012-03-18T22:23:20.792-07:002012-03-18T22:23:20.792-07:00Thanks everyone!!:)Thanks everyone!!:)Fongwei Liuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08397268217587160590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218628147494563280.post-5427711585788781362012-03-17T05:55:34.983-07:002012-03-17T05:55:34.983-07:00This is a wonderful portrait and your advice about...This is a wonderful portrait and your advice about strokes is right on!
