Colors for the art

"It has to be rich chromatically
as I even the colors out." David Dewey

"Framing, lifting, balancing.
See your subject through that lens." David Dewey

David Dewey goes back and forth as he works,
painting and drawing and painting and drawing . . .

"I'm not trying to describe any rocks.
I'm just trying to get a blanket shape over it."
"When painting the darks on rocks:
"See my blanket? As heavy as it is, it's lifting.
It's still a blanket but I'm just trying to
sculpt it out with my darks." David Dewey

"I'm going to add the island, the baguettes, three baguettes.
The three baguettes, sounds like a singing group of three ladies.
The Three Baguettes." David Dewey

On changes of the sky and light while painting plein air:
"Get the frame down. Get anchored that way." David Dewey
