This was done during the Whitney Master Workshop CSOPA put together last weekend. He allowed us each to work in our own style but insisted on a number of rules to start with including:
1.) Begin with white canvas or linen (no tone)
2.) Start life-size, slightly larger, or as close-to as possible
3.) Arrange the colors he recommended (including an alkyd flake white and a few cadmiums)
My linen was only 20" x 16," therefore cropping became less of an issue so I could learn how to render they way Richard wished to teach.
Being a devotee of Marvin Mattelson's controlled pallette (sans cadmiums), I felt like I was flying without a net. Miraculously, Richard made his way to each of our easels at least three times a day offering critiques we all could use and I began to believe in my ability to mix what I needed as we went along.
Using the fast-drying white plus the recommended liquin got me a little crazy on day one. I must admit, however, it was a breeze on day two to paint over a completely dry canvas covered with color.
We did not need to take notes as "it's all in the book!" Painting the Visual Impression by Richard Whitney.
