Shadows across the grass this morning. Charcoal and chalk. 60 mins. This was partly from memory because the sun came and went - and then the rain fell. What struck me was that the intenser dark and light happened further off, by the fence under the tree. Closer tones were more subdued, except in details WITHIN the close shadow. There were fragments of black beneath the clover heads and between the grass stems - and flecks of white where the sun fell on blades of grass, and on the round white table (bottom right). |
