Media: Oil Sketch on Ampersand Gesso Panel
Size: 5x7 in
It was still windy and rainy, so I only drove a few
miles from the coyote (?) kill/scavenge site, across the valley and up into the
Warner Mountains, and found a campsite overlooking Camas Prairie, from which arises
Camas Creek. Here I painted the above
Oil Sketch, trying to capture the waterlogged day, over the Camas Prairie. Evidently the weather is vicious down on the
coast, 200 miles away, and once this Pacific Storm blows I look forward to
getting out into the open High Desert, even though I find it pleasant here
within the Ponderosa Pines. Imprimatura
was W&N Venetian Red, with the Pigments used the usual Rublev Blue Ridge
Yellow Ochre, Italian Burnt Sienna & Lead White #2, with Winsor &
Newton Venetian Red and Cobalt and Ultramarine Blues.
