| "Quiet Morning: Ramah Lake" by M.C.Johnson |
In this step-by-step tutorial, pastel artist Michael Chesley Johnson describes his methods for painting with a local color underpainting. Johnson says: "I want a quiet, very harmonious finished piece, so I try three values of a cool, purple-violet for the underpainting and layer cool "local" colors on top of this, saving my warm touches for the red cliffs." Johnson gives us valuable advice about using a limited palette and sticking with a value plan. He says: "I mark my lightest and darkest areas. This shows me at a glance the range of values I must stick with in the painting. No color will be lighter or darker than these."
