		<title>Shades of Gray No 3 &#8212; Painting Monochrome at Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Golden Neutral Gray Heavy Body Acrylics in a watercolor sketchbook
I&#8217;m starting to really love doing these monochrome studies. They are such wonderful practice for improving the way we see values. Having the pre-mixed Neutral Grays has made all the difference in the world, and has turned this from a tedious chore into a fascinating adventure. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m still continuing on with my exploration of the waterfalls in the Catskill Mountains. Old Mills Falls is exquisite, with a beautiful, large, transparent pool at the base. I really want to go back and do a larger version of this as [...]]]></description>

Yep, back to Hell&#8217;s Hole again in the Devil&#8217;s Kitchen area of Platte Clove to do what I seem to enjoy most these days &#8212; painting waterfalls! This eastern section of the Catskills is so loaded with waterfalls. Many of them are [...]]]></description>

This is the farm where I buy all my fresh produce. Nestled in the Hudson Valley just to the east of the escarpment of the Catskills, they have acres and acres of strawberries, corn, zucchini, and all other kinds of vegetables. The [...]]]></description>

This waterfall in the Catskill Mountains provided the perfect cool, comfortable spot to go painting on a hot day last week! The water was crystal clear and glistened against the moss-covered rocks.

This was painted on location yesterday overlooking the Hudson from the grounds of the beautiful Vanderbilt Mansion property in Hyde Park, New York. A group of us were painting up there behind the mansion. We just about finished our paintings when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monochrome Morning in the Back Yard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Continuing on with my monochrome value studies in acrylics, this one was added to my Shades of Gray sketchbook this morning. This was also done with the Golden Neutral Gray acrylics plus black and white. I think I&#8217;m starting to really enjoy these, much to my surprise!

		<title>Shades of Gray &#8212; an approach to value studies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I set out Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Titanium White, Carbon Black, and all the Neutral Grays in between that Golden makes in a plastic container with compartments and a seal.

I went out to the lakeshore very early this morning to try to grab some morning color before a thunderstorm moved in. I was there just in time, because it started to rain just as I was putting the painting away!

It may seem like I&#8217;ve fallen off the face of the earth lately, but actually I&#8217;ve been so busy painting that I haven&#8217;t had a chance to post the paintings! This painting of Kaaterskill High Peak and Round Top was done very early [...]]]></description>
