“In the garden.”
In less than two weeks, I will be in Italy and I feel excited about it. It will be a painting holiday in Tuscany, under the tuition of Stefan Baumann, who happens to be my painting coach as well. So, I am looking forward to it and I have decided to do another plein air painting for my weekly challenge.
I didn’t plan anything, not knowing how the weather will be, hence I decided to paint another corner of my garden, with the green house in the centre of the composition.
I worked alla prima, over few hours, on a small linen canvas, 20 X 30 cm, a panoramic format, this being my only second painting on this size.
Again, I used a small palette, two blues, three yellows, a red, couple of browns and white. And again, no medium, just some turps. And I only used small brushes, some artificial ones, but mostly sable.
I had the sun behind me, so I used an umbrella to shade the palette and the canvas.
So, here it is:
“In the garden.”
20 X 30 cm (8” X 12”).
