Media: Oil Study on Centurian Oil primed Panel
Size: 5x7 in
I have addressed this subject before, about the differences between studies, sketches and paintings, and this is a good example of an Oil Study. The intent of this work was to study the stormy cloudscape and snow showers sweeping over the Tetons in the afternoon light. This I did. I could have left out the foreground forest and sagebrush meadow, as the subject of the study was complete with the painting of the sky and mountains, and the middle distance trees and foreground sagebrush meadow were incidental to the main study. Be that as it may, I quickly dabbed in the trees and sagebrush, and it could now be termed a sketch, but for me it remains a study, for studying the sky was the intent. Imprimatura: Ruble Ecolano Red; Drawing: W&N Cobalt blue; Pigments: W&N Cobalt & Ultramarine Deep blues, Cadmium Orange & Yellow Pale; Rublev Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre, Ecolano Red, Purple Ochre, Lead White #1.
