Yesterday morning I
taught a Plein Air Workshop for a group of other artists, and I began the meeting
with a demonstration by painting the 16x10-inch oil painting on canvas shown
above.
Part of the demo was
about how to handle the relative colors and values in different areas of the
painting. For example how the colors and values of the nearby trees compared to
the values and hues used in the distant mountains. This is the demonstration
painting I did at the start of the session.
I’m showing a close-up
detail of the painting also, so the values of these areas can be more easily
seen.
I’m also showing a
snapshot taken during the workshop, where you can see a few of the other
artists and a part of the scenery we were interpreting in our paintings.
Overhead you will see some very threatening clouds. And it was more than a threat.
Eventually we had rain falling on us, then brilliant sunshine, then more rain,
then chilling winds, and so on. It was an interesting morning to say the least.
BTW – if you’d like this
painting please email me directly; and make me an offer if you wish.
Thanks for
stopping to look.
