This was a quick alla prima still life study featuring a bouquet of flowers passed their prime and a bundle of dried lavender contained in a couple of glass vases and a glass skull shaped jar.
I don’t have much experience painting glass, because it has always intimidated me. Painting this still life study has taught me the unusual characteristics of glass and the way it bends light.

Landscape Oil Painting Studies with Timelapse

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.

"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.
