Windy and cold and it's been a while so realized my palette was all a bit grubby and needs a good sort out. Like Karen I struggled with the wind and it flipped things onto the grit and grass several times. These two are in need of more work and I really struggled with the relative colors of the brownish sea (all churned up and choppy) and in the small sketch it is just too pale but when I tried it darker it seemed too brown. I'll dabble a bit maybe but looking forward to next time ... (First sketch is 10 x 14 oil on canvas board and second one is 6 x 8 on same) Fran
Appreciated post, thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI like both of these. I especially like the light and the foreground in the second.
ReplyDeleteWonderful simplicity in these compositions. You create a strong mood and convey a sense of place. Pretty amazing, considering how small your canvases are.
