I have been thinking about how loose my painting style is and haven’t been overjoyed with that particular consideration. So today, I strived to be a bit more loose in a painting. This was handy since I was having some trouble deciding what to do for the painting of the day, and needed something reasonably quick since I have an appointment later.
I settled on this spring view of Kluane Range mountains near Destruction Bay. I think I’ve achieved my aim, working on loose painting and colour harmony, although I did have some sky issues and it ended up a bit muddier than I wanted. Conveniently, I’m doing an online course with Andy Evanson on painting skies so my sky issues may go away.
