Another keston lakes painting. Painted from a Sketch that i did on site. Also Harry and I. While we were paintinmg, a young chap came out of the woods pushing a Barrow. he then loaded some stuff into a large van.
He had no Shoese or socks on, and wearing shorts. I looked round and he was looking at my painting, so i said hello, he said Hi!, and that he loved my painting. I thought what a lovely young chap he was. also I admired him
for wearing what ever he wanted to wear, and not bothered about what other people thought.
So happy to see your post on my side bar. I would say the problem has been corrected. Your painting is beautiful my friend. Greens are so difficult to paint and you have done a wonderful job and capturing the natures true greens. Care to share your palette, I'm having some problems with mine.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you,

This is a beautiful painting Victor. I like that it is a journey into the trees with warm light.
ReplyDeleteHi Joan.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your great comment. We can`t keep away from that area can we? Off to a different are tomorrow. A Church and some Cottages. Of coiurs we have been there before but not for some time. Well my friend. Colours. I do get some lovely comments about my greens, but I think the secret is- Permanent Sap Green, mixed with Ultra and Yellow Ochre. For the darker areas I add burnt Sienna to that mix. For the real highlights, I add either Cad Yellow or Lemon Yellow. I hope that helps you my friend. I am still having trouble with my Blog. really it is the problem of not getting to grips with my filing. Oh! well, one of these days I`ll get around to it. All the best Joan.

ReplyDeleteVictor I've missed you on my side bar too. It's good to see you there again. You are a master of landscape. The young man was right. Every scene you paint I want to walk into it. Your paintings are very inviting.

It's always great to see an artist at work and I love this painting. I'm also a fan of your greens so very much appreciate your 'recipe'. This is another great painting and I agree with Michael about that path being so inviting.

Hi John.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your nice comment. I think landscapes are my favourite subjects. I do like Figures
in a landscape, but I don`t like to put them in most of the landscapes. Thanks again John and all the best.
