A Bit of a Landscape

I haven't painted much in recent months, or at least posted anything. So here we go...

The beginnings of a sky, using the "Gamblin 1980" line of oil paints and an Artist's Loft (Michael's) 11 by 14 stretched canvas. This first stage used 3 colors (titanium white, cerulean blue, neutral gray).

Beginnings of a Sky

Adding some pinks to the sky, and a horizon fading into the distance. Added colors are cadmium red medium, Payne's gray and Veridian green.

Sky and a Horizon

Lastly we add olive green, ultramarine blue and yellow ochre. Soften the horizon transition. add a foreground.

This was fun to knock out in an hour or so, but there is so much left to learn. And it's amazing how much things seem foreign after a hiatus of only a couple of months. It's kinda like starting over again...
