My First Block Study - NFS

After taking the Oil Painting workshop this year in summer, I found a great book - Capturing Radiant Light & Color in Oils and Soft Pastels - by Artist - Susan Sarback. I loved this style of painting and every painting in this book is "radiant" as the name of the book suggests. There are demonstrations in this book that I wanted to try out and this is the first one - The Block Study. Supposed to be the easiest and it is advised to finish this demo in about one hour. However, I took my own sweet time, being a beginner !!
It was fun trying out the effects of light on Objects and their shadow. The blocks in this picture are red and yellow and placed in bright sun, hopefully you can feel this looking at the painting.
