5 minute doodle
two from italy
one ‘ plein air’sketch in gouache and water colour on paper
one oil on canvas (80 cm square)
both the same subject from last spring in Le Marche, Italy
‘mountain through trees’
prayer flags paintings stage 5
I went out to the studio just to have a look,
in tidy day clothes of course
Taped over both paintings and re-glazed the thin sharp gaps with a nearly white mix of paint and sunflower and turps
Removed the tape and added some more red, blue and yellow oil bar to bring up the colour again
They might be finished
5 minute doodles
the Himalayas are so vast and overpowering that I am finding it difficult to approach the task of painting them
the scope and spread and scene is just too huge
after seeing some of ‘said-simply’s doodles here on WordPress, I decided to have a go at loosening up with some really quick pastel sketches
so here they are
I’d include a link to said-simply’s blog but I don’t know how! I”ll reblog another of his posts in a minute instead
prayer flags paintings stage 4
I’ve worked on these for a week now, today I added a dribbly top coat of a very pale blue with safflower oil
It needs some more highlights so when this glaze layer is dry I will work over it with random scratches and dashes of white and yellow
Still a bit too specific and representative for my liking, looking for a more impressionistic abstraction
