Patagonia Lake
101 Oil Studies, No. 36
Objective: An attemp to refine setting of Patagonia Lake (southeastern Arizona)
Painted in 5 sessions: 23 Aug to 03 Sept 2024
Pigments (Winsor & Newton Artists' oil colour unless noted otherwise): yellow ochre, Naples yellow, French ultramarine, warm grey (Rembrandt), Vandyke brown, sap green, permalba white (Weber), unbleached titanium (Richeson/Shiva series). Mediums: Linseed oil; Oleogel.
Centurion OP DLX oil primed linen, 22.9 x 30.5 (9x12 inches)
After Action Evaluation: Generally I'm feeling this study was a miss, (1) expecially with botched sky, suggesting that a cloudless sky ought to be handed as much as possible with the initial wash, perhaps with indigo. (2) Some progress on the tall grasses and tree reflection, but still a way to go on the water reflection in general and (3) the wave formation, which needs very horizontal to avoid the appearance of non-level water.
