AMAZING demonstration! Also Morgan, if you ever need a different occupation, you’d make a good stand-up comedian. I enjoy when you get tickled by something you’ve said. Okay …. Back to business.

I did a small study using your painting as a reference. When I first put down average-shadow-gray, it looked too dark, so I mixed more white to lighten up. Then when I started to put down light family colors, the light colors looked very dark. I should not have changed the average shadow value.

Since my canvas boards were still drying from gesso I decided to attempt this with pastel on grey Canson M-T. I put a value scale on top; I think I got a bit confused between half tone and reflected light which may have been because they were both so close to the value of the paper. Good exercise.
