Garden Steps

Another session with the Ice Light and a chance to simply practice painting techniques. Although this scene is far from a ‘sweeping landscape’, it’s still a large area to paint and with it comes the challenge of how to visually layer the different elements and bring out the inherent textures. Flooding the scene with light would be quick and easy … but it’s not an approach that would yield anything compelling. Knowing where to apply light and where to retain shadow, important to any photographic technique, involves a learning curve. My approach … do it often / pay attention.

And the ‘Ice Light’ … love it.
