How to Paint a Backlit Scene | Plein Air Oil Painting Demo

[@ianbrowne8871]

It has been a hectic couple of weeks with garden/studio upgrades, car service and MOT ... but i did enjoy this post. One always assumes that the tropics will be full of light but with tropical vegetation is not aways the case. The golden back lighting has been rendered very well - especially streaming through the banana. Also worth noting the topical soils been a helpful set of reds which complement all the greens - nature was giving you a hand!

Lovely painting and yet another interesting and informative commentary George! I fully expect you to be soon writing articles for one of the art publications like Leisure Painter.
