Walking at Straiton
'Oil on board 20 x 20"
Bridget Hunter 2011
I don't usually have big skies - and I don't usually have such big clouds - but I felt this painting needed a large sky area. Its a view from a hill and when you're this high up the sky can seem vast. I spent time doing watercolour sketches of skies and clouds last year but all in good weather. Maybe now I could move onto having an even lower horizon line - though I think I'd better do some more cloud studies first!
Hi Bridget. Love the painting, I can't wait to come up in May so that I can have some tips on how to paint successfully. I have posted my feeble attempt at doing a postcard on my profile, but to get the full picture you will have to click on it.
ReplyDeleteYour sky and cloud are so powerful and earthy and such a necessary part of the composition, as an echo of the ground material. Surely you have now to lower your horizon line!
ReplyDeleteI really like the reds and ochres in the foreground!
