Media: Oil Sketch on Winsor & Newton Canvas Panel
Size: 5x7 in
It was generally overcast the next morning, even
though the Moon had been out most of the night, and only the base of Yamsay
Mountain, across the level of Sycan Marsh was visible below the cloud
base. I could see the odd patch of snow
on its slopes. Occasional rain blotted
out the mountain and the far side of the Marsh a couple of times during the
painting session, but the hoped for clearing never occurred, so I never was
able to glimpse the contour of the top ... another time. Imprimatura: W&N Venetian Red. Pigments used were Rublev Blue Ridge Yellow
Ochre, Italian Burnt Sienna & Lead White #2, with Winsor & Newton
Venetian Red and Cobalt and Ultramarine Blues.
There ... tech stuff taken care of.
