This piece was done on a paint-out with one of the plein air groups at Franklin Canyon Park in Los Angeles last month. There is a dam and lake at the location. This is the duck pond and the many ducks were so much fun to watch. It started out as a dreary day and my first wash barely dried. This piece didn't turn out the way I envisioned when I started painting, but ended up with a nice mood after all, with ducks. Lots of greens!
This piece was painted last year and was one of the first exercises I tried on the Paint My Photo website. It's a painting with green practice which was a lesson in one of the groups, done from one of the photos on the site.
Sherry, These are lovely, you seem to have the greens mastered.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen! They are a struggle while painting it seems.
DeleteI think you handled the greens very well. I hope you will post your work from Vinita's class. I'd love to see it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom! I hope I do something presentable in the workshop.
DeleteMe too I would love to seem them..... will be so interesting to see the before and after!!
ReplyDeleteHi Judith! So far we're mixing lots of greens, and I've already learned something new so that's wonderful. I think if we end up with a painting, the before and after will be subtle since I've never been an "out of the tube" green painter, but I've got more options in my head already. :-)
DeleteHi Sherry. Sorry forgot to add your blog to my list. Done now. There are certainly a lot of green charts to work on. Fun though and I've learnt lots already too. See you in the Going Green Group. Laura x
ReplyDeleteHi Laura! I need to apply myself to some more mixing. I see some in the group are really ambitious.
DeleteThe transparency in these sun filled greens works beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary! I really appreciate that!
