@Mak Olvik has prompted me to post a couple of my landscapes on 'Painters Hub' so here are four of my 2025 favourites from our annual exhibition based on the Flinders Ranges, South Australia.
@Pam Reynolds thanks Pam, patients and a bit crazy!! 🤪. Actually it’s not that difficult, the most important part is to get the base colors right, with right amount of tone variation and some color variation to make it interesting. Have a good selection of earthy colors for the stones and a mix of sky color for the surfaces that face the sky and reflect that color. Then the tricky part is having enough variation is size, shape and color to make it look natural. Lots of stepping back to see if it’s looking natural.
Might be time to stop calling these palette knife paintings an experiment and make it my thing. I really enjoy the process of painting like this, which to me is just as important as the results. 11" x 14" oil on arches oil paper
