DECODING HARMONY-1: Harmonizing with Shadows

$7.00

Beginning a new series that focuses on decoding harmony, in this Lesson 1, Dianne concentrates her attention on shadows and how we can use them to help harmonize our paintings.  Using a subject mostly in shadow, she intentionally throws the shadow areas out of tune, then shows how to bring them into harmony.  Although the lesson itself ends with the blockin, during the recap, you see the painting taken to a finish.
