Moraine Valley

This is my second attempt at "re-keying" a painting. I changed the river to be warmer. What a difference it made!

Learning to blog has been a real challenge for me. The technology expertise required to photograph artwork then enter it into the computer with megapixels and sizes correct is mindbogling. This 9x12 plein air painting was sold last week. I was happy about that! Sometimes greens can be very difficult. I find that it needs a little red mixed in to make it work.

Brushstrokes

Working hard to improve my brushstrokes during the morning paintout, I deliberately made the strokes short and did not touch them again. I see several areas which need correcting which I will do in my studio.
