Great job, Val!

[Tom Edgerton]

Beautiful...

[Valerie Warner]

Tom,
Thanks for that! It is not as rich in color as the one I did in Chris' workshop last month but I think it is because I used raw umber and did a complete value study wash in (like Marvin teaches) and then I applied the colors over that adhering to values more than color. The goal is to be able to layer with scumbles and reach richness and luminosity. Next time should be even better!

Chris,

With what I learned with you, how to be professional, present myself, deal with the customer, schedule, have confidence in myself and my work, accept money, and the confidence I achieved in your class, I feel complete! I can't thank you enough for all I learned and your generosity.

Always

Beautifully painted, Val! I like this very much.

[Elizabeth Schott]

Valerie,

I love it!

Please tell us more about your experiences!

[Marvin Mattelson]

Here's a picture of Val in action. Right behind Val is Patty. I've also posted her painting of Moria which might give you a better idea of it's richness.

By the way, if you ever get a chance to meet Val and you wonder why she's so shy and inhibited, it probably means that aliens are inhabiting her body. Just sayin' !

Beautiful job Val! I love the palette as well and used it on my last painting.

i can see Marvin misses us.
