Oil Demonstration 67

STAGE 4 LIGHTS THEN DARKS
Way back in college, our art teacher said, “I like to paint the lightest and darkest areas first so I may balance each successive tone with
accurate comparison.”

STAGE 5

BEGINNING MY

STAGES

Various first stages commence:

the “house” and awning, the oars’

concentric waves with reflections,

and shadowing. I later realised

that the straight line shadow of

the awning should be wavy. All

the way through it was think,

think, think about shadow angles

and strengths, reflections in the

water, structure of the boat,

correct perspective of the feet

and more.
