Painting fall colors was my goal anyway. Thus, I decided to train myself using the image below. As usual, this image lacks contrast and brightness. And I am trying to figure out what to do with the side trees.
While I like the idea of alla prima, I rarely use this approach. And this time too, I started by reducing white and clear canvas to dirty canvas. My underpainting is a very loose sketch that was done in 15 min. I have not painted the side trees yet. Maybe I will later.
At least I painted on Saturday. Otherwise, Saturday was a nice and slow reading day.
Today, I was properly seasoned for painting. I knew that canvas waiting for me. It is a good time to learn how to paint fall gold and red.
I will walk around this painting for a week thinking and doubting myself. Should I add these trees? Will they make this painting more interesting? 9x12 canvas board.
PS Need increase contrast of sky and water. Let it dry!
