Media: Oil Sketch on Ampersand Gesso Panel
Size: 5x7 in
I made my own road through the snow to my individual campsite. I was alone ... and happy about it. I prepared supper in the gloaming, as the
Winter stars winked on; they blazed fiercely in a crisp dark sky by supper's
end, and I caught a few meteors of the Geminiids Shower, that would reach its
peak in the wee hours, and crawled into my sleeping bags, to the hooting of
Great Horned Owls away by the Hot Springs.
The next morning, 50 yards from my campsite, I painted the above Oil
Sketch, in the morning light. The tire
tracks in the snow are mine from the evening before. The snow is about 4 inched deep, and would be 6 inches
by the time I left a few days later.
Imprimatura: Venetian Red; the Pigments used the usual Rublev Blue Ridge
Yellow Ochre, Italian Burnt Sienna & Lead White #2, with Winsor &
Newton Venetian Red and Cobalt Blue. For
