"Morning Walk" - 10x10 - Oil on Canvas "Caminata en la Mañana" - 25x25cm - Oleo SOLD |
There is nothing like a morning walk in the woods enjoying the sounds, the smells and the colour. Again, just like the last one, this one is inspired by Goldstream Park which is very close to Victoria, only about 20 minutes by car. I am very fortunate to live where I do, there is beauty everywhere year round :)
Painting this one was interesting. I started painting without a clear plan of attack, (may not have been the best idea but....), I just knew I didn't want to get really tight with detail, wanted to be able to keep the initial excitement of the rough in. Eventhough I was using oils, light washes and negative painting started happening, similar to watercolours and I went went with the flow, without forcing the canvas to go in any different direction. I enjoyed the process and I am pretty happy with the result.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Fue interesante pintar este cuadro. Comencé sin un plan específico (tal vez hacer eso no es la mejor idea pero....bueno....) Sabía que no quería poner demasiados detalles, quería mantener la frescura del bosquejo inicial. A pesar de usar oleos, utilicé capas finas de pintura cmo si fuera acuarelas. No forcé un cambio de dirección y dejé que el lienzo se resolvera solo. Disfruté del proceso y estoy bastante satisfecha con el resultado.
Que pasen buen fin de semana!
