I have not posted for awhile but I hope everyone has enjoyed my
new prints and monitored all the holiday sales via my Facebook wall and Twitter
account. This is my painting, Snow in
Landscape. I
was inspired by the winter snow paintings of French impressionist, Alfred Sisley. I
wanted to use color to paint a fun winter scene. My critique group and friends
tell me I achieved this objective. I
used this painting as my holiday card; I personalized text and borders. My main colors were double split
complementary hues from the Munsell color wheel (orange and blue, red purple
and green). I like painting the changing hues, temperatures and values in the
light and shadow shapes. My focal point
is the figure in the red hat.
This is a digital painting using mainly traditional oil painting
techniques and a painterly approach. I used virtual brushes and paints on
coarse cotton canvas (Corel Painter 12 and Wacom Intuos5 drawing pen and
tablet). I worked with mainly impasto and oil brushes. My primary technique was painting wet into
wet. I also glazed transparent paint over dry paint.
