Good to see you back! A challenging scene, so many closely related tones and late summer greens so uniform. Spring and autumn offer much more scope and variety which eases things for the artist. You did well to to create such variety and depth as we followed the curve of the river. Brave!
Thanks Ian, yes summer greens are definitely a challenging subject! I often end up taking liberties with the hues to add a bit more variety and clarity to the scene. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Nice one George ,, I recently did a very similar scene on the river Bure in Norfolk , and had very similar green challenges , realy hope you can make it up to constable country one day to paint alongside you 👍🎨👍👍
Just stopping the video for an initial question - I thought you were toning the panel with dabs of acrylic and water but from your narrative, it's oils and some paint thinner?
Yes that's correct. I used mostly yellow ochre oil paint and maybe a few dabs of raw umber paint too and applied distilled turpentine to thin the paint and rubbed it in with a cloth. Thanks for your question
@@GeorgeFrederickThomas Thank you! I may have to give this a go. I use a much thinner tonal wash and then do a grisaille but I like what you're doing here. I'm glad I subscribed today - I can learn a lot from you!
