| Snow over Wilsford 12" x 16" Oils |
In between the fun and feasting and visits I was able to get out locally and paint the snow that had fallen overnight - such excitement after not having had snow here for at least 20 months!
I didn't have a suitable board prepared with an under colour, so I had to start with a white surface for this one which I don't really like to do. So I used some glaze medium mixed in with the paint and turps for the first stages adding thinned blues and purples, very much like a watercolour technique.
This was dry enough to add thicker lighter paint on top within the hour, without any difficulties.

ReplyDeleteI notice that you lay in your paints onto something, can't see what it is but it looks like a piece of carboard?? Could you tell something about that?
Beware of the coffee btw. hehehe ;-)
Interesting Boxing Day sketch - not sure about the gesture from the fig on left! (says a lot for such a few pencil lines). Like the landscape. Best wishes.
