Thank goodness, one of my Tri-County friends sent me a text reminder about today's workshop! One of my dear friends was giving a demo - and brought many of her reference shots from her recent painting trip to France! I did not want to miss this, but alas, I almost did! Arriving late, I got there just in time to start painting. Picking out a couple of my favorite shots, I started in on this lovely street scene in Le Barroux. I painted most of this with my brushes, but did finish off the masses with my palette knife. New on the palette today - Gamblin's caucasian skin, cad chartreuse, and nickel titanate yellow. You can see these paints used all over this painting, in the foliage, on the stone buildings and the street. I think this may only be my second or third cityscape ever, so I still think I need a lot more practice! Perhaps I will start painting some of the Google Earth street views, as so many other artists do......or maybe I should just get to travel more! Painting number 591 in 591 days :)
Another fantastic painting! Valerie

ReplyDeleteyou always manage to bring such a feeling of warmth and tranquility in your paintings. Great work!
ReplyDeleteOK so are you just pulling our legs about this cityscape. It feels like you have been painting them forever. There is so much depth of field and the colors move with ease through the entire painting. I really like the chartreuse and nickel. Makes everything pop. I am so glad you made it on time so we can all see this masterpiece.
