6x8 inch original plein air
oil painting by Tom Brown
The paint itself was actually the reason for this painting. The scenery was almost secondary. As I explained in yesterday’s blog post, surface texture can help communicate the pure emotion I feel when painting. And that emotion is what this painting is all about.
To imbue the painting with the dramatic light and color of the sunny day, I used thick, juicy strokes of lush oil paints. They create an almost “sculptural” feeling on the surface of the painting.
The result is a painting that always offers something fresh and new to discover each time it is viewed. Take a closer look at the detail image for a better example of this brushwork.
I painted this on location during the Plein Air Workshop I conducted for other artists last Saturday.
