Now that everybody else seems to be finished this course, I am struggling a bit with motivation and I have become slow with my assignments.
I really want to finish before Christmas, though, so I'll have to stick at it.
I was looking forward to this section on mapping light and dark (or dark and light?). I found the value study exercises really good, learning how to differentiate between form shadow (or the shady side of a building - it can contain a lot of reflected light) and cast shadow (which is often a lot darker, and cooler colour), and also discovering that the bright side of a building is often more bleached out than you'd think - although that probably applies to Australia and Italy. But not so sure how that works out in Ireland. As I will be doing my outdoor assignment here in Ireland over the next couple of weeks, the darkest dullest time of the year, it will be interesting to see how that works out for me!
But I've just realised I still have to do a second indoor colour study before I'm allowed outdoors! So I'll continue pretending I'm somewhere warm!
