I’m not typically a plein air painter
so when I do, I find it rather daunting.
Taking Tracy Everly’s workshop at the
Art Complex Museum, in Duxbury, MA
last week was humbling.
I’m just now absorbing some of the lessons shared.
It was overcast both days so there was very little
value contrast to work with.
This was my very first approach on location.
And here it is after a few tweeks in the studio today.
“Charlie’s House”
10 x 10 oil
I darkened the darks and lightened the lights.
Tried to make it all about the bamboo,
but the dark green door wanted to dominate.
Tracy is an amazing instructor and person.
Very generous and so earnest.
It’s all good.
Fun to be back at it.
