Dunes in the Sunlight, oil on paper, 30 x 40 cm |
Then I mixed a bit of fleshcolour (Lukas) with Yellow Ochre (Talens) and Bohemian Green (Lukas) and soon found out I needed a lot more paint. A surface like this absorbs paint very quickly. Took me a few layers to get it right.
Painting foliage has never been my strongpoint. This time I started with an underpainting of Burnt Sienna (Talens) and Yellow Ochre (Lukas). Once dry I painted the sand reed on top of it with my beloved saber/squirrel brush (see blog entry Friday, January 17th, 2014).
Drew some more reed in the wet surface with the stem of my brush, exposing the brown underpainting. It was a struggle, like always...For a bigger picture of the painting please see my online sales page.
