I would love to paint en plein air using my oil paints. But that would require traveling with more equipment and supplies than I normally do. In the meantime, I find myself enjoying doing these mini landscape oil painting studies in the comfort of my home. Here are a couple of quick studies I did earlier this week.
"Ketchikan" oil paint on 4" x 6" wood panel
This first painting made me realize that I haven’t quite figured out which yellow and blue to pair in order to mix a specific shade of green. It didn’t help that the lighting in my room was inconsistent as I worked on this painting.
In order to solve this issue before diving into the second landscape study, I decided to do some color experimentation in my sketchbook using all the yellows and blues I have in my collection.
Materials used for “Ketchikan”:
"Fairview Park" oil paint on 4" x 6" wood panel
The second painting came out much better than the first study. I find myself being drawn back to the dirt path time and time again. There is just something about the cool shadows and warm sunlit areas that sparks joy in me.
