"Willapa Bay" 9x12 oil on panel Sold |
This is the salt water estuary near Illwaco, WA. When I scouted this location during the PAWA paintout at Cape Disappointment the fog had rolled in creating a beautiful atmosphere for this scene. I love how the mist simplifies the shapes for you and creates a mysterious feeling.
When I first set up my easel the fog was so thick water was collecting in my paint box and running down my panel. I packed up and waited for it to lift a little and then set up again.
If you get caught up in detail trying to paint outside, wait for a nice foggy day and give it a try. Have fun out there! =]
