I liked the effect of sunlight coming through the trees on a hill along the river. There were so many trees, so I tried to simplify a bit to focus on the effect
Month: December 2017
Quick sky study
Quick study of the sunset recently in my small homemade sketchbook
Another Potomac river study
I am planning to do a series of very large Potomac river landscapes, so am trying some some different compositions.
Finished Hazy Potomac River Piece
For this scene the thing that most interested me was the white buoys in the distance on the right. I saw them from far off and tried to get as close as I could before I ran out of land to walk on. A little mystery on an otherwise calm afternoon.
Hazy Potomac River work in progress
The other day I got out for a lunchtime hike along the Potomac. It was a bit eerie being the only out with a hazy river. I liked the warm colors in the distance and the very cold appearance of the foreground. Still a lot more to go on the the web of trees and branches and the rocks on the ground. This one is all ultramarine blue, burnt umber, and yellow ochre.
