Still life Study in Natural Light

Tuesday Oil Painting Class with Randy Blasquez. She had her students paint a still life set up outside the studio so they could study the natural light on their subject matter.  Great lesson!  We noticed how the cool blue hues of the sky become a lot more obvious in the light planes.
