| Changing the time of day.... When I picked up this "oldie-but-not-quite-Goodie" off the shelf, I knew I was going to make some dramatic color changes to teach my workshop students about time of day. The original painting was done on location at the Sants Rosa Preserve in Murrieta, California. It was done with that limited colors I mentioned yesterday, and I'll share them with you: Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Light, Pthalo Green and Burnt Umber. A great palette for a lot of plein air painters, even though limited. I've come to dislike the limited options it brings, and have expanded it to the twelve of the Color System which suits me. This painting is now full of morning light, and yet appears more yellow than I would like--the photograph doesn't do it justice. Workshop information is HERE. Please forward this on to your friends, and thank you! |
