Values were really well done, same with saturations showing atmosphere. Why didnt you push the bright orange on the very background hill, just curious, it works great the way it is. And the foreground grasses are beautiful and I like them how you did it. A lot of folks would overemphasize the light as being the only important component of the composition and would have maybe taken the grasses a shade darker, maybe two shades darker, just to keep the lights and darks totally separate. But the greens to mix are gorgeous, and I like the more realistic portrayal, speaks to the energy of Sedona -John
Hi John! Thank you so much for this feedback! I held back from the saturation on the background hill because I didn’t want it to take away from the light hitting castle rock. I actually ended up pushing the saturation on castle rock a little more even when I got home, which is a good lesson for me to be a little more bold next time in the field! I could have taken the value of the grasses down a notch, I may play with that a little in the next sunrise scene. Thanks for pointing that out! I do feel that the shadow area here was a little more mid value to dark range, morning light feels a little less contrasting than sunset, so I wanted to maintain that softness. The foreground shadow seems to get darker as the light drops further down….if that makes sense😂 thanks for watching and pointing these things out!!!❤🎉
I’ve been watching your channel for years but never commented much and although I would be tempted to watch any artist painting in Sedona, you seem to have a more natural approach that comes through in your work. Love your style.
@@vincentterracciano8214 wow thank you so much! I’m definitely always learning and growing. I think living here has really helped me to understand the landscape in a more intimate way.
Thanks Lydia...really impressive 🤗
Thanks so much, happy you’re here! ❤
heart, love the sky explanation
Thank you!!!
The light as it hits is beautiful
I know! I never feel like I do it justice! But I keep trying 😂 such a magical moment
