"Majestic One", 6 x 8" plein air oil painting on boardSOLD
This painting was done as a demonstration for my plein air workshop at the Leighton Centre. I was trying to show the students how to capture rapidly moving clouds. The key is to find a cloud motif that you like and draw that in. Paint the landscape so it looks like there are clouds scurrying by -ie: show some light and shadow patterns on the land. Then use whatever clouds are present to get the colours and values of the clouds, and then paint the shapes you have previously drawn.
I have just joined Daily Paintworks and they will be holding auctions for paintings for me. I will try to list the starting price of the auctions here on my blog. This is a very good way to pick up some very cool unframed artworks at extremely reasonable prices. Payment is made through PayPal, so it is all very secure.
Enjoy!
Sharon this is beautiful - thanks for sharing your process.
