| The painting with a little more detail added. |
Hi everyone, this is a large canvas produced for the Hutton Cranswick Art Group. I took the canvas along with one or two outlines sketched in and the point of the demonstration was to show how we could create a painting using just three colours plus white the colours were French ultramarine, yellow, and red. Before we started, I showed the group how it was possible to skill up a sketch without using a ruler or a grid. I have added some details, a little bit more in the sky, some grasses in the foreground et cetera once home and produced a little video for the group to watch.

| Just saw this photo in a newspaper and thought it may help you understand what I was saying about clouds getting smaller as they go down the sky. Of course this is to do with distance, the clouds are actually a similar size. Also, consider making the sky and clouds paler as they recede towards the horizon. Of course, at dawn and sunset the horizon colours can be amazing… but that is for another day. |
It was a lovely day surrounded by a lovely people creating art. Here is a link to a short video to help people finish off and to also maybe help others.
Also, lastly, go to my blog and look at some videos. I think the iPad videos which can be paused to help you maybe copy the drawing will be helpful as well as entertaining.

An art collectors book.
My book explaining how I approach PLEIN AIR PAINTING includes a comprehensive guide showing how I work. It also is a memoir, a journal with comments accompanying paintings describing the serendipitous. This is part one, featuring the Low Wolds of Yorkshire, familiar to many from when David Hockney painted here. Part two - soon to be published features the HIGH WOLDS.
Available here, at this time it is on special offer.
