Color and Light
Dane Aleksander—wildlife painter in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I started a Schoolism subscription with the course titled Designing with Color and Light by Nathan Fowkes. This is part of a goal to get in the habit of painting (digitally or otherwise) everyday. I am happy to share a collection of color studies from week one of class.
All paintings were created in Adobe Photoshop. All photographs were taken on an Apple iPhone.
