Thanks Jeff

Thanks for teaching how to interpret a photo with the artist’s eye. To me, this is not an automatic artist skill but must be visually and verbally taught. You do a great job of doing that!

Thanks Ray, Glad it was helpful!

You bet!

[@smitasadhu596]

Thanks you are a great teacher. Would you please do similar videos for early morning and noon photos?

[@philstarke.artist]

Great suggestion!

[@patriciaelle6304]

Phil, thank you so much for this video. Your adjustments look great. And perfect timing. I’m struggling with a painting right now that’s set at a similar time of day, with a very low sun. Logically, it seems that if, say at noon, the horizontal plane (the grass) would get more light and be a lighter value, and the upright plane (the trees) would be darker, things would switch with a low sun. The sun facing side of the trees would become the ‘horizontal’ plane and the grass the ‘upright’ plane. But your adjustments with the bright grass looks right. Am I thinking about this wrong, or does it just look better artistically with the light grass? Thanks!

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Patricia, most of the time the grass would will be lighter, The key is don't make any of the planes the same value.

Thanks for this video and others I just started watching. What program are you using to change the colors on your picture? Is it Photoshop? Thanks

[@philstarke.artist]

Yes, it is!

@@philstarke.artist I tried playing with Photoshop, but could not find the filter. :(
