I went back to the same area as last weeks painting. I wanted to do it again and really study the tonal values and colours. I am pleased with how it turned out.
I will be using this painting for an article I am writing to go into The Artist Magazine. The title of the piece is ‘Colour & Aerial Perspective’, it will be in the January 2019 edition. I have subscribed to the Artist Magazine on and off since way back in the 80’s & 90’s so I I am very pleased to fulfil a wish of writing and being in the Magazine 🙂
Back to the subject:
I really like this area to paint, The Trundle, South Downs and have done quite a few now so I want to push myself and try a bigger painting. I brought a 120cmx50cm canvas, it arrived and its huge!! I was tempted to go outside and try it, but I am not set up for such a big support on my easel. So I will prepare as much as I can with drawings and plein air studies and have ago in the studio and let you know how it works out!
I was standing right next to a bush covered in white flowers, there were bugs galore – spot the bee flying past in the photo!
