Sitting in the shade at the beach.....
.....I did this demo on Sunday for the plein air workshop. The building was actually a bit more squat and didn't have this saltbox roof....I just made it a little more interesting.
It was a great weekend. Saturday at the Bloedel Reserve and Sunday staying cool by Eagle Harbor. I had a group of serious painters who stretched me....I think challenging me kept them in good spirits because they looked like they were having fun. One looked like she was even settling in for a long stay.
I asked them to use a limited palette to simplify choices and learn color mixing. This is Quinacridone Red, Cadmium Yellow Light and Thalo Blue. The next post or two will have paintings done with that palette. There is freedom, believe it or not, in such a limited selection of primaries.
Here is a pic of the painting at a sketch stage:
And here is the quick marker drawing to help plot where I wanted to go:
