5-value study of the goose fountain

Here is the goose fountain again, but this time instead of 10 I used 5 values.

The 5-value study forces me to simplify the values that I see into the 5 paint values I have. The result has a stronger value pattern/contrast and it shows the slight better. I should keep that in mind when I paint with colors...

5-value study of a fountain

Same fountain again (in Lasdon Park, NY), this time I used only 5 values instead 10 values. It forces me to make decisions and simplify value patterns.

I'm happy with this one and I think I'll leave this fountain alone for a little while :-)
