Last one from Bryan Park.....?
This particular spot backs up to where I-95 merges with I-64. I replaced the chain link fence and the entrance ramps with an open field.
I think I've learned a thing or two from spending so much time on these azaleas.
Mainly, suggestion rather than description works best. However, suggestion is much more difficult for me.
Second, I need an under painting. I stopped doing them when I started working plein air three years ago. I figured there wasn't enough time, but if the values and patterns are established early and I stick to them, time isn't really an issue. It is so much easier for me to judge color value and temperature against a single color under painting.

Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Dan, I'm a fan or your work from WetCanvas. This is gorgeous! I have enjoyed looking at all of your recent work. I agree with you about the underpainting. It is well worth the time. I also find an added sense of depth when there is something behind the main color - not a bad thing for plein air at all!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jala, glad you stopped by.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna, I always recognize the "Donna T". I think we must follow a similar list of blogs.
