Shadbolt Center “Boat in Lake” Concept Overview – COLOR AS TONE – Oct 19, 2017
Getting a little bored with simple realism? As the title suggests, here is a way of seeing and painting called “Color as Tone”, sometimes called ‘arbitrary color’. Actually the hue may be arbitrary, but the tones or tonal value shapes are not.
I am sure that we all, at some stage of our painting development, have seen paintings which impress us with the ‘creative’perhaps adventurous use of color, for example, the Impressionists, but there are many others. This is a method that many use to achieve this effect. Not the only method – but I like it! I will add a few video demos on this soon.

SKETCHING VERNAZZA AND RIOMAGGIORE (Shadbolt Center July 2017))
This is a demo of drawing techniques for travel sketching using charcoal (the square-section compressed charcoal is what I use , sometimes called drawing pastel black). Actually, a cleaner, more convenient alternative for travel would be gray felt pens, such as COPIC brand, wide nibs, neutral gray, just a couple of grays plus black fineliner (Type the name “copic” into the search box on this site to see how this medium can be used to render and color images.). You can use colored pencils over the top. We first did some practice mark-making and then sketched two villages of the Cinqueterra. See the photos below the video. For the village sketches, I begin with light gesture, then build up 3 tonal values for shapes. Then finish with some contour lines/details, such as edges and windows.
