This painting is the one I cannot sell- my daughter says so!
The bright green leaves still have to be added. My daughter says they look like plums!
Acrylic paints dry out so fast outdoors. Still, I may try again with acrylic and mix only a limited range of colours at any given time, rather than laying out the full palette.
That meant stating by blocking in dark areas with a raw umber/ phthalo blue. Then a purple penumbra around the cast shadow. The reds needed light and dark reds in varied temperatures. Painting with as few strokes as I can manage.It is a Triassic colour scheme with primaries.
Here is my setup with finished paintings from yesterday and today. I love my home made pochade box!
I see distortion in the boxes and can adjust the blue showing through the corner to fit more with the background colour. Hey, not a bad day!
