Color-Value sketch video of “Turret Arch”

By stephen, February 14, 2010 2:45 am

Greetings, here is a  time lapse video of me painting a small (11 x 14 inches) color-value sketch. This type of small painting or sketch will help me as I design and create a larger oil painitngs.  One thing I discovered as I made this little sketch of Turret Arch in Snow was an interesting rhythm  created by the alternating snow and sandstone patterns on both sides of the image.  When I create the larger painting I will try to emphasize those patterns. I also discovered a value shift I need to make between the sky and the sun lite  sandstone. Ideas like these are just a couple of the reasons why I like to paint smaller versions of the landscapes I eventually paint large.

I hope you enjoyed this little video. If  you are interested in this little painting or any other works you see here contact me. Check out what I have on Ebay this week.
