St Johns refers to a lovely Church just along the Road to us. I have sketched a lot in that area, and this was from a photo that I took last January when we had a lot of snow. I painted this yesterday.
Vic I love the atmospheric quality you have achieved. Once again it has that old master look.Did you use a limited palette of yellow ochre, white, black, maybe some green or blue. I am intrigued. Don't think you celebrate Thanksgiving, I believe, that is a Colony celebration. Have a great day.
Hi Joan. I agree with the OLD, but I don`t know about the Master my friend, but please carry on saying those great words, I love them. Glad you like it Joan. I used my usual colours--- Ultramarine Blue, Yellow Ochre, a touch of cad` yellow for highlightes and of course plenty of Titanium white. All the best my friend. Vic. P.S. Oh! I forgot the Burnt Sienna eith ultra` for the very darks.
I started painting around 1990 and loved it straight away.
I started with watercolour,and then after about 15 years I moved to Oils and acrylics. I still paint the odd watercolour to keep my hand in so to speak. I love impressionism. The only time I use detail is when I paint portraits. Otherwise it is my interpretation of the subject.
I am retired but still find it hard to find time to paint. I reckon I can manage to do a painting about three times a week.
Originally I was a Motor Mechanic. Then, for the eighteen years leading up to my retirement, I worked
for Barclays bank.
You have captured the coldness admirably here Vic.
