- MAKE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS:
To fi nish the painting, I used
a variety of my mixtures
to adjust for atmospheric
perspective, correct shadow
colors and so on. I wanted
to maintain a sense of mys-
tery, so I kept the light key
low. To evoke the sense of a
sunny day, I heightened the
chroma of the sky with clean
mixtures of ultramarine violet
and white. I worked more
pure ultramarine violet and
quinacridone violet into the
shadows to deepen, darken
and enrich them, thus fi nish-
ing Enchanted Circle (oil on
canvas, 16x20).
