More painting from Woodwalton Fen
I used the Bank Holiday to get up early and do some more painting at Woodwalton Fen – I was even there before the bird watchers. Happy with the results. I really needed my painting umbrella to stop glare.
I always start by blocking in with bright colours – darks first
This is how bad the glare can be when the sun is low!
When you look at the following images you will see how I move things around to try and make a satisfying picture. One advanatage over photography, and something I am getting more confident in doing.
For this series of paintings I am used textured boards which are really wearing my brushes out. The texture helps stop the colours going muddy, but I think I over did these.
Taking a coffee break after one hour – well deserved
I love the subtle colours on this one ( if I say so myself)
I will leave all these painting to dry and then pick them up and tidy them up,were needed before framing. Less than half ever make it to completion.
