Marvin,
If and when I begin painting, I will begin with a limited palette, like the one that the WetCanvas guys are using in their Limited Palette Project (they are using a palette that they say Zorn often used). I'll move on to a broader palette after I learn with a limited one. Baby steps!
So I'm curious to know if your lighting setup would be as important when using a limited palette. When using a full palette, and attempting to match colors exactly, I can see where the color of light is critical. While drawing, light color isn't a factor (As far as I can tell), because I'm not using color. Can I assume that light color is less important when painting with few colors?
Michelle,
Keep us posted about the workshop. I'm very interested. I'm reading Tony's book for the second time, and I'm starting to think it wouldn't hurt to re-read my other art books as well.
Please tell Tony for me that I think that some of the looser drawings from his book are as masterly as his tightly rendered ones, and I feel he should add them to his website. The website has only tightly rendered works.
Good luck with the workshop.
Pat,
I'm impressed that you are getting to go to various workshops. I can't get away from work for extended periods, so I have to depend on books and videos. Be sure to share your experiences as you go.
Jeff
