This time I used alizarin crimson for my "mapping", assuring myself of a bit of red in the composition. Tried to contrast the values, as well, for maximum effect. Somewhat more pleased, I think, but still could be improved upon. Tried soooo hard to put the stroke of color down and NOT
TOUCH it... why is that so H A R D

I can sooo vividly remember watching this really 'cool' girl in my high school art class (Karen Bernard, who was, like a senior when I was probably a sophmore) do a palette knife painting. She was left-handed, and I was so fascinated with her style of handling the knife. I believe she was doing a scene with people, umbrellas, possibly Japanese. (funny how you can remember artwork from YEARS ago ! Anyhoo, I've been dying to try one, but never got a round to it... today's version of the German landscape seemed like as good a time as any... boy, was it challenging - but fun, too.
Interesting to see all your different versions of the photo. All very nice.
