Lesson 6, Day 2 -- Painting the Temple of Isis with Corel Paint
/Today I continued to work on my painting of the Temple of Isis at Philae. It’s slow going, but I’m enjoying the challenge.
When I first started painting and drawing 5 years ago, I thought, “Why bother blocking out shadows and highlights? Why worry about color relationships? I’ll just paint what I see and be done with it.” It turns out that I simply can’t paint what I see because my brain is very lazy and thinks that people look like stick figures and all buildings are square. My brain also tells me that there are only three colors, bright red, bright blue, and bright yellow. My brain is really just a 5-year old and has a lot of dumb ideas about how to paint.
