Media: Oil Sketch on Centurian oil primed Linen Pan
Size: 4x6 in
Monday, Labor Day: Extreme smoke haze from the forest
fires way up near Glacier National Park in northern Montana, so much so that
you could not tell the Sun had risen by the usual shadow descending the cliffs
across the lake, and those cliffs themselves were almost lost in the haze,
although only two miles, or so, away.
The lake surface itself was calm until about noon, after which a breeze
blew up for the rest of the day, but that had no effect on the haze. In the evening twilight, the usually bright
planet Jupiter could hardly be seen, and in fact I had to find it with
binoculars before I could make it out with the naked eye. By the time it lowered into the notch between
Sublette Peak and Brooks Mountain, it could only be made out with binoculars,
before it passed behind the latter ... now that is haze! However, it made for a beautiful warm,
reddish-gold full moon ... gosh! Two weeks since the eclipse already!! Some days here are reasonably clear, others
very hazy. The painting depicts sort of
a middlin' haze. The pigments used were:
Imprimatura: Rublev Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre.
Drawing: W&N Cobalt Blue.
Painting: W&N Venetian Red, Cerulean, Cobalt & Ultramarine Deep
Blues, Permanent Rose, Cadmiums Orange & Yellow Pale. Rublev: Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre, Ercolano
Red, Purple Ochre & Lead White #1.
Blocxx Ivory Black (in a green mixture). For more, visit www.StevenThorJohanneson.blogspot.com
