Three color painting.....homework .... Module 3

This painting I am going to do over again. I used an 8"x 8" Clayboard to work on and if you know clay board it is exactly what it says. The surface absorbs the paint to the point where when you put down a stroke you can't move your brush. The paint has to be liquid...Well anyway....it is a disaster....but I have worked very hard on it today, and am going to post it and then post again when I paint the other one. I used Cobalt Blue, Cadmium Red Deep, Cad Yellow Light and white. I didn't intend it to be a high key painting, but that is what happened when I had to paint over and over again the same areas I lost my richer dark when I went so light to get a fluid consistency of paint ....

Yellowstone Naional Park

I am enjoying landscape painting so much. It is partly because the Finetec waterolors that I use. They are so incredibly beautiful....ssooooo beautiful.....each stroke is a stroke of LOVE....... www.lindahuntfineart.com

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
