Tri-hue watercolor class, week 4: film, veil, & volume color critique; light & shadow

We critiqued class solutions for exercises 1-4

  1. Paint the illusion of two transparent films over a colored shape.
  2. Using the identical format to the first assignment, paint the illusion of a white veil over the original colored shapes. Think of the veil as a piece of tracing paper.
  3. Create the illusion of 4 white index cards suspended in a colored liquid.
  4. Create the illusion of colored index cards immersed in a white atmosphere.

One set of solutions is shown below. You can see some painting strategies Dick suggested during the week.

Visual phenomena: films, veils, volume color, atmospheric perspective
