On Day 2 of the Colley Whisson Austin Workshop, we again painted from Colley's painting. This time a larger panel of an interior shot from the inside of an old hotel lobby in Australia.
Step-by-step, Colley demonstrated each of the three alla prima layers, pausing in between for us to complete each step on our own canvas. Then he would come around and help us individually correcting as needed.
Copying is a great tool to help step out side of your box, go inside the artist's head, and understand his process. This forces you to leave your comfort zone and explore new approaches.
