Quick Alla Prima

NFS

A quick one hour study to explore the differences between under painting and glazing, and quick brushwork. I have found doing the 3 increased my 'feeling and connection' with my choice of subject matter. The process is essential if you want to scale up. What next? if I were to scale up, and this were not just a study, I would explore the use of different 'sky palettes' against the green/blue-green of the landscape :-) which would give you a much sharper contrast, rather than marshmallows pinks! Perhaps it's a knee jerk reaction to the harshness of the glazes ...........
