These last four paintings done in California were all painted on Arches Huile, a paper made especially for oil painting. I loved trying this paper, most of all because the paintings were so portable. This is painted in Carmel at the end of one of the streets.
What a lovely landscape painting! I love the colors and the way you put down the strokes. I will need to check out that paper that you used.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Suzanne! Really like the way you handled the trees.
ReplyDeleteI love your active marks and how you achieved a beautiful distance with value and color.
ReplyDeleteLove the brushstrokes Suzanne, lovely and loose! Thanks for the comments on my strawberry:)
ReplyDeleteLovely Suzanne. I find it's difficult to keep the trees dark enough - you gave them just enough highlight, but not too much. A great landscape!
ReplyDeleteps - Have you seen Taryn Day's artbyte on DPW about painting on a budget? Good info in there about painting on paper.
Did you find the paper to be rather absorbent? When I used paper for oil (a different maker), I found the absorbent nature rather off-putting.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful landscape painting, Suzanne.
