Plein Air study – 9×12 oil
This was done right out back of the Sedona Arts Center. Alla prima, outdoors during the Kevin Macpherson workshop last year in October. Three colors. Two hours. One brush.
Part of the February Exhibition at the Center.
Demonstration
Demonstration Oil 24×36
On Feb 11 I did a demonstration session in the gallery at the Sedona Arts Center. I used a photo taken from when I was painting outdoors (see previous post). I had done the sky the night before with just the palette knife and then demonstrated using the palette knife and brushes to create an interesting “passage” of painting. This painting also uses the same limited palette of colors we use in my workshop. Just three colors plus a black white. I’ll post the finished painting soon.
Plein Air
“Sedona Evening” 9×12 oil (plein air)
This study was done as a storm was moving in…leading to a larger studio painting in the next posting.
Sedona Morning
“Sedona Morning” 6×8 oil
This is one of the small paintings that I included in the February exhibition at the Sedona Arts Center.
Evening Storm
“Evening Storm” 18×24 Oil
This is the first piece I started for the show and the last one I finished. I had done a tiny little study on paper with a lot of palette knife work that inspired the above ‘storm’. I was envisioning this winter series of paintings. It being January I was eagerly awaiting the next storm…the low clouds, mist rising, thunder and snow but none of that happened…we seem to having an early spring. Thus the previous posting was the next painting…
