  abstract shapes and establishing a shadow pattern to suggest the light in the
  painting. Fishback will do demonstrations and explain Carlson’s Four Planes
  of the Landscape. He will explain the importance getting your values dark
  enough and your lights light enough to create strong contrast. Using broken
