Wetlands in Motion

01 Oil Studies, No. 32

 

Objective: Refine hue-chroma-values in autumn bright daylight.

 

Painted in 4 sessions: 15 to 23 July 2024

Pigments (Winsor & Newton Artists' oil colour unless otherwise noted): Permalba white (Weber), yellow ochre, Naples yellow, cadmium yellow, French ultramarine, burnt sienna, warm gray (Rembrandt artist), sap green, viridian. Mediums: Gamsol, linseed oil.

Centurion OP DLX oil primed linen, 30.5 x 22.9 cm (12 x 9 inches)

 

Process: I expanded on my initial objective above and added many birds with the intent of showing more their motion than their detail.

 

After Action Evaluation: (1) Pay attention to drying during the process. Sometimes and element needs to dry (such as the blue sky) before working around it. Sometimes elements need to blend; here cadmium yellow was added to tree foliage after it had dried resulting in too much chroma. (2) Given the scale, I was happy with he birds.
