Painting in the studio from a plein air study
After painting Watson Lake in oil en plein air, I wanted to try painting it in the studio, using the plein air as a guide, and do a larger painting. This is 14 x 18 on a stretched canvas. I haven't painted on a surface like this in a very, very long time. Painting large was different too. I had to allow more time and mix bigger piles of paint and use bigger brushes. I only worked on it two days. I now realize I was using my plein air Alkyd medium. I don't have a regular medium right now. So, it dried overnight. So, it was a little different. But, it was fun, and I'll do it again.
