Although this is a more tightly controlled study my goal was to push the color. Not only rich saturated color but especially the warms and cools.
Here I placed the warms to the left side, the direction of the sun.
But there are cools interspersed, as in the tanks and the standing concrete slab, so it ties into the right side.
On the two archways I went to extremes. Although both are in shadow I painted one warm and one cool to show their different directions in the environment.
Sometimes despite their shapes forms can flatten out, especially when they are the same value. One way to 'turn the form' or show their different directions is through warms and cools and not value.
This is all part of doing these studies, to try out as many variations and ideas as possible.274
