Moon and Clouds Mini
101 Oil Studies, No. 10
Objective: Flat tone test; high thin clouds following "Moon and Morning Sky" photograph in my "Sky and Space" album.
Painted in 2 sessions: 02 Feb and 09 Feb 2024
Pigments (Winsor & Newton Artists' oil colour: Cerulean blue, lamp black, titanium white. Mediums: Gamsol, Oleogel.
Ampersand Gessobord, 12.7 x 12.7 cm (5 x 5 inches)
Process: In this miniature study, the original wash was very light, so I tried painting the sky as negative spaces between the clouds, later adding additional gestural strokes of white in the clouds.
After Action Evaluation: Clouds are way heavier than in "Moon and Morning Sky" photo. Deeping the blue initially, then adding clouds in thin glazes seems to be the better approach.
