Maine Farm Scene, 5x7, oil |
This was my reference photo. The horizontal bands prevent you from entering into the picture. I opened the bands and added the red barn and the scattering of cows to invite your eye to wander into the distance. I warmed the foreground and modified all the greens. Green is a difficult color, adding bits of orange, red and violet seem to help. This painting is available on my Ebay page. Thank you for visiting, Celene www.CeleneFarris.com |
another good one,.. how long does it take to do one?
ReplyDeleteBarb, these are quick studies, not studio work, and quite small 5x7, so I have limited myself to 2 hours. Of course, it took me over 25 years of painting to be able to do these in the 2 hours. They are fun to do and I never stop learning from them. Thanks, glad you are enjoying them. Celene
