Two Oils, Monday Demonstrations
Here is my mornings efforts at correcting and polishing up my last couple of demonstrations for my Monday morning plein air class. In both of these paintings I worked at pushing the backgrounds back using a more violet greys, and bringing the foregrounds forward with texture using a palette knife and chip brush, applying intense reds yellows and greens. The oils are coming along but it will be a year or so before I really feel I have turned the corner. I plan to spend the first two months of 2015 outdoors painting trying to get the winter greys down. I think that is the only way. Thanks for putting up with my oils I know they will get better.
