FIELD STUDIES by TOM BROWN
This is not for everybody but kindred spirits (artists) will relate to it. I
was on location and had no more panels to use for painting, but this scene took
my breath away and I simply HAD to record the essence of the moment. I began
with a quick pencil sketch on a simple sheet of 8 ½ x 11 white paper. I
especially wanted to note the flock of birds that took off across the scene as
I was sketching it. Of course I couldn't stop there, so I quickly opened my
paint box, grabbed a palette knife and did a rapid color study of the scene
over a second pencil sketch on the same page. The color study measures
approximately 5 inches wide and 3 inches high on the page. This is actually a
little jewel and I believe the right person will treasure it. It's kind of a
glimpse behind the scenes, like looking over my shoulder as I think out loud
with pencils and paints. Enjoy!
