🙏 The @oatmeal's comic on #creativity convinced me to refresh and improve my #painting skills with some fundamental exercises. It's time for me to do the hard work I've been avoiding.

I decided to join @BenjaminBrinckmann generous #MastoArtStudy prompts.

This is my Notan study, which breaks Thomas Moran's painting The Golden Hour into 5 values, from light to dark.

This was also a good excuse to finally start learning #krita.

Here it is #MastoArtStudy5! This week we're doing another value study but this time with five colors. I'm honestly very proud of this lesson. I think it's my best one yet. I learned tons of writing this one myself! It's quite lengthy, but there are lots of pictures, and it deals with a lot of very important stuff: Value, Saturation and its importance in composition. So please visit my blog at brinckmann.no/en/blog/post5/ to read all about it!

Little bit late for #MastoArtStudyNumber4

Absolutely regretted my decision to pick this particular image for the Notan study but I did my best. I also felt the need to add the black background because it didn’t make much sense without it. Kind of looked like a floating head with a weird hand so I thought that was the only way to save it.
