When I arrive in a new location I just want to get the first painting under my belt! Start it off and get into the flow, I also just feel itchy to do it!
So this was it, feeling my way with the colours, shapes and the strong bouncing light of Venice.
Decided to do a limited palette of Red (Scarlet Lake with a little white & Yellow Ochre), White (Titanium) & Black (mixed with Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine) helps create a more harmonious painting and easier to start with.
Also did some sketching...The bridge right outside the house we are staying in!
A fine start. Interesting that you found it easier to use a limited palette �� as your first painting and chose colours that don’t at first seem to have much connection to the scene although of course, they are!
ReplyDeleteA fine start.
