I did two workshops earlier this month – the first for Gallery 500 and the second for Albany Art Group. Here are the demonstration pieces I did in each workshop…
In this seascape, done with Gallery 500 at Terra Verde Gallery in Albany, I focussed mainly on translucent water and the colours required to make a convincing “white” in sunlight and shade.
I did this landscape with Albany Art Group. My main interest here was aerial perspective and shadow-sunlight contrast. The original is very warm as we were painting under mercury-vapour lamps which lean heavily toward blue-green and tend to suck the life out of reds and oranges. Consequently, there’s a tendency to mix these colours more saturated than usual.
