Price: Contact Artist for Price
Media: Oil Sketch on Centurion Oil Primed Linen Panel with additional coat of Williamsburg Lead Primer
Size: 5x7 in
You will no doubt have been greatly relieved to have heard the sound of my silence these past three weeks; rearming, refitting (my painting supplies) and general maintenance of equipment, as well as constructing a shelf in the back of my truck to safely transport my suitcase solar array, has taken more time than anticipated, and I have a bit more yet to do before I can get back on the trail. That being said, I am posting an Oil Sketch which was painted on my way back up the Oregon Coast, a couple days after I left Brookings and the Redwoods country. To find this view of Face Rock, at Bandon, you must enter the caves beneath Cathedral Rock, and clamber through to the far side. This is not always possible as pools periodically form and block the way; this time I was fortunate. Even once successfully through, the rising tide has to be watched so as not to become trapped. The tide was on the turn when I began to paint, and it became an exercise in concentration to complete the sketch in time to beat the tide ... it was close. The face looks up and to the right towards the waning gibbous Moon. And thus this entry is short and to the point, much as when doing the sketch. Imprimatura: Venetian Red, with the block-in with Ultramarine. The rest of the pigments were Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre & Italian Burnt Sienna (from Rublev), Ultramarine, Cobalt & Cerulean Blues, Venetian Red and Cremnitz White (all by W&N).
