This painting, like some of the others is based on a paint application that uses a brush loaded with a lot of paint. I try not to go over already applied paint too much, because that creates the risk of changing the saturation, especially the darks which should sometimes be left as the initial transparent application. I have also observed that I load the brush more at the beginning of the painting, when my energy is fresh, and that as go along I get lazy, and if I look at my palette there's a lot of paint there, but not in the middle of the palette where I'm doing the mixing. So its important to remember how I started.
Purchase this unframed painting.
Contact me if you would like to purchase a plein air frame.
You rock, this is fabulous! Can I come paint with you?
ReplyDeleteInteresting composition and color. Nice to hear your thoughts as well. It is easy to get lost in a painting and forget your intentions. It does not appear that it happens to you.
