Started a Larger Painting - "Phlox Field" -24" x 30"





"Phlox Field"
24" x 30"
Oil on canvas

I decided to start another larger painting today of a field we came across that had this winding creek with the bright pink Phlox growing along its edges, leading up to an old lonely barn.

Today I worked at getting the composition down, along with the value shapes and overall tones of the different areas. I've decided to use Cobalt Blue instead of my usual Ultramarine, along with Terre Verte, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Medium and Light and Burnt Umber. Just the beginning, but a pretty decent start.
