Cloudscape Mini
101 Oil Studies, No. 11
Objective: Testing of surface texture and gestural strokes in clouds.
Painted in 2 sessions, both on 1 Feb 2024.
Pigments (all Winsor & Newton Artists' oil colour): Cerulean blue, titanium white, cadmium orange. Mediums: Gamsol, Oleogel.
Ampersand Gessobord, 12.7 x 12.7 cm (5 x 5 inches)
Process: In this miniature, I initially intended the cadmium orange simply to desaturate the blue for dark gray clouds, but as I went along, I let the color come out.
After Action Evaluation: (1) In the initial wash, some brush grain continued to show, but this study suggests that can work in a cloudscape. (2) Upper thin, white clouds approach realism in high, but the dark clouds and lower white clouds can work in more gestural paintings.
