what do we get for extra-credit?

Are we allowed to talk this time?



backlit is a great way to go-
saturated colors, interesting highlights, bounce light

das experten can say, but I don't know, Russ - hit it

it's good.

Thanks Barker. Backlit is a great way to go. if you've ever looked at much of Keith Ferris' work you'll see that he uses backlighting a LOT. It really allows you to bring more colors into the subject than you can with direct lighting.

Someone in another forum asked me how long this one took - only 5 hours. Compare that to the DH2 study which took me 5 days!

Thanks much, AAC. Rudenberg's colors worked well with this palatte, don'tcha think?

I'll be working on the finished version next week. I should be able to scan it and get it posted in a couple of weeks.

Wow Russell! You painted this in five hours? Man your're fast, a fast genius at that! Oh, by the way, love the way you used the color blue in this painting.
