Just before the convocation started I made this painting of Place des Arts (building on left edge of painting), with a view down the festival area. They were getting it prepared for Jazz Fest by installing overhead lights, fences and stages. As the sun was going down, long shadows were being cast by the buildings with slivers of light. When painting light/shadow alternations, it is important to control both the value and hue, the highlights being a warm light beige, and the shadows being cooler blueish middle grey. The tops of the buildings and trees also tend to catch the last light.
