Media: Oil on Pannelli Telati fine Cotton Panel
Size: 5x7 in
The
hike to the viewpoint for my painting of Delicate Arch was a bit strenuous, as
it is uphill most of the way. It was a
very windy day, and there were real fears of being blown off a ledge, but there
were many others making the trek, so I pressed boldly onwards. It was the evening of the last full Moon, and
on a Friday night, when the Park is open 24/7 ... there is road resurfacing going
on so Arches as been closed after 7 PM except for Fridays and Saturdays ... thus
the crowds. The Sunset was not the most
spectacular, but since I was there I remained to see what it would do, but I
had neglected to bring my headlamp, so did not await the rising of the Moon; perhaps
the one in a couple of days. There was
enough afterglow, as well as moonlight, that I made it down the hill with no
problems, but it might have been problematic if I had left it later. The mountains in the distance in my painting
are the La Sal Mountains. Pigments used
in the painting were ... Imprimatura & Drawing: Rublev Ercolano Red; Pigments:
W&N Cerulean, Cobalt & Ultramarine Deep Blues, Cadmiums Yellow Pale
& Orange; Rublev: Ercolano Red, Purple Ochre, Lead White #1. For more check out my blog
