Landscape commission painting stage 3

commission landscape painting
Here is the next stage of my commission painting. I have strengthened the colours and defined the detail a little. As this is a memory of a particular place for someone, I am a little more literal than I may normally be in my landscape paintings. Trying to strike a balance between an impression and the actual place - this is the tricky bit for me! More to come ....

Hi Peter,

It's interesting to see how you build up the painting. Do you use very thin layers of paint?

Hi Emily

Yes, the early layers/wash-ins are quite thin as I am establishing the composition and tones. The final layer is a little thicker and usually more so in the foreground.

    I am a landscape/seascape artist living in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia (lucky me!). This blog is a diary of my thoughts and offerings of my art and its processes. I hope you enjoy it and stop by sometimes.
