Seagull

To me the lighting is mid-day and sunny.

The sky is blue and there are little or no clouds.

The sun feels pretty high because the highlights seem blown out a bit. 

I thought I'd try and bring out more of the local color in the bird. 

But something feels off about the sun side of the bird.

Goro Paint Over (thank you!)

I took notes this time to really try and think about

what the light was doing. I also tried to simplify the 

painting elements and finished this one in an hour.

I tried to use the lighting in the reference. I think some of the values threw me a little because the colors were different. Also this took me over an hour. I should have picked something less detailed.

Red Barn

I tried to capture a sunny bright day.

The red barn is isolated in a field of green grass.
