The study of a cliff went really well. I think that's a probably the most effective way to learn painting. You do your study, this way you learn how colors and light works on different surfaces. You get the design and you don't have to learn anything by heart. Then you execute the best possible way what you learned. Omitting the detalis, focusing on most important things. The memory ones are the roughest but that's good. With minimum effort they read as the photo. Light is ok, form is ok, colors are ok. That's just awesome. How much time you put in completing such exercise from start to end?
It's a somewhat solitary existence, a bit like a lighthouse keeper throwing a beam out into the darkness, in faith that this action might help someone unseen.
