El Tesoro Path by Artist of Texas Sheri Jones

El Tesoro Path
11x14 oil on canvas

I was fortunate enough to take a workshop with Jill Carver at El Tesoro Camp in Granbury, Texas recently. There were 15 friends and fellow artist that joined in the fun. 
We were painting on a creek bed and I found inspiration in every direction.   We explored black and white studies inspired by the Notan theory. 
I used acrylic paint in gray scale as an underpainting, laying in the design. I then mixed my colors and divided them by value on the palette.  
I painted this in the studio, trying to apply what she taught us. 
This is available for purchase. $350.00
