Painting From Sketch
16/04/11 17:43
Got a couple of hours in and knocked this one out. It is based--with license--on the sketch I made the day prior. It is in acrylic and is 11x14 inches. The pallet of color that I used was quite limited, though it kind of looks as if there was more to it than this. Mind you, I did stock up on about 3 different types of green and at least that many blues. For whatever reason, I ended up using a deep yellow verses a more spectral variety. Maybe, a little deeper than Hansa Yellow. The bit I was rather pleased with, was the color switch-up on the left-hand side of the foliage. Having only two hours in the studio, I knew I had to get this knocked out, so all I did was deepen and add blue to the green (I think a little Paine's gray made it's way in too) and just motored on. I do know that the subject is not so compelling, but I genuinely had fun painting this picture from the sketch (see below).
