Media: Oil Sketch on Ampersand Gesso Panel
Size: 5x7 in
By the time I got out of the Hot Springs valley, it
was 11:30, so I ended up driving through the HQ about a mile or so on the road
towards the Warner Valley, parked and had my lunch, and studied the scene
before me. Snow showers passed by
occasionally in the distance, with a good one forming up as I set up for
painting. I worked on the sketch during
the afternoon, while further snow squalls came and went, sometimes over me, and
decided I would have to come back in the morning to rework the buildings and
trees of the HQ complex. I quite like
the Beattys Butte massif dimly showing on the horizon, just to the left of the
snow shower; it had been in sunlight not long before, but this gloomy
apparition, as depicted, better caught the spirit of its impending disappearance
beneath the obscuring swirl of the squall.
Imprimatura: Venetian Red. The
Pigments used were: Rublev Blue Ridge
Yellow Ochre, Italian Burnt Sienna, Lead White #2, with Winsor & Newton
Cobalt Blue and Venetian Red. For more visit
