| "Eglon Beach, Fresh Air" 6x10 oil on panel $500 |
As the weather was getting better and increasing "studio" fever was taking over, I was able to get out to some of my favorite haunts for some spring plein air. I took a couple cleansing breaths after unpacking my gear at Eglon Beach. There was nobody out there but the seagulls and a lone dog walker reminding me again how much I love to paint in nature from life.
To get those dark northwest evergreens standing up behind the alders on the bluff I mix a tad of Cadmium Yellow with Ivory Black to start. Ivory Black has a lot of blue in it which makes a dark, rich green. After that you can tweek the color with Cobalt or Ultramarine Blue and tint with Titanium White to push the land mass into the distance.
Check my website for workshop opportunities this summer. There are a few coming up! =]
