Another try using the thumbnail sketch I liked so much. I might have to take a break from this winter-marshland series or maybe change the colors to represent another season. The little image below is the oil-wash foundation. This painting is "Hometown Yesterdays," 13 x 13 inches.
More beauty! This is gorgeous. I think I want to try your page of thumbnails method. It seems to have freed up your mind in a new, completely poetic way. Brava Barbara!
ReplyDeleteI was lying in bed this morning looking out at the sky as I see it every day at that time, thinking of doing a memory painting of it. Did you see the memory blurb and link from yesterday's post to your blog?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I think your loose oil wash foundation is so important to the overall feel of the finished piece. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteMany times I like the oil foundation better than the finished pastel. One of these days, I'm going to paint several oil-wash foundations and consider leaving them as oil paintings...no pastel.
