Monochromatic – value studies – black, grey, white – something I never do. I promised myself I would weeks ago, before beginning any painting. As with most resolutions, it fell by the wayside. However, I think monochrome value studies in gouache could be really rewarding and worth doing – you can make corrections as you go along, put white on black if need be. Not so easy in watercolor, and pencil studies can get all fuzzy and blurred.

A good approach for monochromatic painting. Beautiful.

Thanks for the compliment about the monochrome – from a Pixabay picture that was in B&W. It could be I will do mono studies prior to a painting – better contrast, which you know is a bugaboo for me!
No green following button. In Chrome (default browser) I don’t see anything about being subscribed or subscribing at all, only you Instagram account and categories. In Firefox the box to subscribe to your blog via email shows up with a box below it that says I am following your blog. The same happens with Opera. It appears the Chrome deletes certain elements of the WP coding – and it could also be because I have a lot of tracking items turned off or blocked. However, other Chrome users may not have this situation. Hope this helps!
