We have had the most amazing fall this year,
and this scene took my breath away recently.
I thought I’d do a quick gouache sketch,
in preparation for a possible oil painting.
I love the immediacy and flatness of gouache
and this was great fun.
However, I’ve learned that when translating a
gouache sketch into an oil painthing,
they will not be the same.
(I often like the sketch better than the painting.)
Keeping that in mind today, I layed this 14 x 14 oil
in today over an old painting.
Will keep you posted.
