My EasyL box with an oil sketch
A couple of weeks ago, I went out to a farm near the Gallery at Paper Mill Road, met a few painters from Atlanta, and we had a great couple of hours in the morning, painting in the shade. I tried an underpainting of transparent orange, which really came in handy that day, with all of the green grass, leaves, shrubs, etc. I wouldn't always use this bright toning, but I was happy to have done so with that little study. It IS nice to get out of the studio, though I don't seem to venture out unless meeting others!!
This piece looks like it's going to be a great one Nancy! Nice to see the actual setting too.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, The idea of putting down transparent orange was a great idea. The problem with to much green....it can be just so green.
