Clapboard Island - Painting and Travel

Clapboard Island - Clapboard Island, Maine
Roger and Sarah spend several days on an 80 acre private island in Maine. Roger uses acrylics to paint a colorful scene with bouys that have been washed ashore. Light and shadow are important parts of this painting as well as perspective regarding the wooden steps. The painting is finished with the addition of wild flowers growing nearby. Sarah talks with the owner of the old style “summer cottage” which has seventeen fireplaces, numerous rooms and beautiful gardens.

Beautiful painting! You explained the concept of using aged and weathered items with newer/fresh/vibrant items, very well. It makes good sense in many ways. I enjoy being able to watch all your episodes when ever I want. Thanks for posting them.

Glad I can post them for anyone to watch.

You are so inspiring to me! On this painting you said it was more important to get the value correct than the color. Does that skill just come by practice?

Hi Carol, I think that comes basically through observation and I guess years of painting.
