Two Studio Painting Starts











"The Endeavour Returns" and "Niles Pond" are two Studio Paintings I've Started. Depending on the mood I'll either start a painting with a charcoal drawing or Thinned oil paint. On these two paintings I will brush away most of the charcoal and then give them a wash of Burnt Umber or Cadium Red Light thinned with Turpentine. There's a beautiful pinkish sky in the reference photo I took of the Endeavour Herring Boat returning early one morning. The Niles Pond Photo that I will be using for a reference was taken by my friend Sharon Lowe. It's a beautiful Sunrise photo taken during this past Winter at Niles Pond.
