Media: Oil Sketch on Pannelli Telati fine Cotton Panel
Size: 5x7 in
After the Eclipse I remained in my forest meadow all
Tuesday, to give time for all those other eclipse watchers to head out from
their camps and clear the forest roads.
I crept out on the Wednesday from my forest road joining the next forest
road 5 miles to forest road 600, the Union Pass Road, much as a creek joins a
larger creek to a river. The various
campsites that had occupants, when I came in on Saturday, were all gone. I
decided to go west a few miles to check out Buffalo Meadow and then a few more
miles to Mosquito Lake. At the latter I
found a campsite overlooking the south end of this shallow lake and the Wind
River Range extending to the south. The last two paintings posted were done
here. After a few days I proceeded back
over Union Pass & down to Dubois, where I resupplied, did laundry, visited
the library to post a blog. By the time
I left it was 21:30, and dark, and so I attempted to find a dispersed campsite
at Brooks Lake, in the Absaroka Range, for the night and head on to Grand Teton
National Park the next day. I ended up
in a National Forest campground instead, and when I awoke I was greeted with
this view from my campsite! The area was
so nice I serendipitously decided to stay a few days and paint in th area. I did move to a free dispersed campsite on 1st
September. I am beginning to really like these Pannelli Telati fine cotton panels by
Belle Arti, out of Italy; there seems to be a good amount of 'grab' of the
paint, and not so 'slidey' as some panels ... I guess I'm finding that to be a
preference. Having been primarily a
Watercolourist my whole career, I'm finding the technical side of Oils quite
fascinating. Imprimatura: W&N
Venetian Red. Drawing: W&N
Ultramarine Deep. Painting: W&N
Venetian Red, Cobalt & Ultramarine Deep Blues, also a touch of Cerulean,
Cadmiums Orange & Yellow Pale; Rublev Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre, Italian
Burnt Sienna, Purple Ochre & Lead White #1; M. Graham: Hansa Yellow. For more, visit
