Today we painted mainly in the Stewart Falls and Roberts Bench area. Although we are still in the MIDDLE VALUE STAGE (Step 5) and we will be for the next few days ahead, we went ahead and defined the distant tree line, some snow patches on Roberts Bench and the waterfall using lighter and darker values than the norm for this stage. Each of the steps in the painting process are pretty hard and fast rules and this method has been proven true by master painters for hundreds of years. If you cheat a little on the rules, you have to know when you can. Many years experience lets you know how and when it's okay to fudge the rules.
While working today, I met an interesting and important individual who works for Novatek kind of on the outside. He complimented me on my mural work. It is nice to know my work actually is appreciated by someone. It makes me feel like what I do has some value.
This page will blog the progress of the Novatek Mountain Vista Mural in Progress from start to finish. SCROLL DOWN TO SEE PHOTOS AND READ BLOG ENTRY ON ART IN THE WORKPLACE.
