Media: Oil on Pannelli Telati fine Cotton Panel
Size: 4x9 in
(Note: the actual size of this painting is 3-1/2" x 9-1/4") Views of the La Sal Mountains I see quite often upon my travels about this area, and this particular view, more than most and in different lights, as it is on my way to and from my camp. This evening depicted here was one of the best, so I couldn't let it pass. You will note that the usual pigments I have been using recently are used here, with the addition of Ceruse, a soft unassuming Lead White, which mixes well without overpowering the pigments; Rembrandt used Ceruse. I find it interesting that this quiet evening used the same colours as the bright mid-day colours of the last posting. The Pigments used in the painting are ... Imprimatura & Drawing: Rublev Ercolano Red; Pigments: W&N Cerulean, Cobalt & Ultramarine Deep Blues, Cadmiums Yellow Pale & Orange; Rublev: Ercolano Red, Purple Ochre, Orange Molybdate, Lead White #1, & Ceruse.
