PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE IN THE HEART-LED LANDSCAPE COURSE

 

Working through the Angela Fehr online course, Heart-led Landscapes.  Doing color studies before starting the painting.  This is in my Strathmore Visual Journal, 90# cold press; good for working up things but won’t react like good paper.  









A larger painting on Saunders Waterford paper given to me by an art buddy (thanks, Laura!).  I am going to need to use masking fluid to keep those whites of the egret (and the pelican if I want to add it).  And I’m not going to use saran wrap on the background trees - that was just a thing to play with since Angela introduced it.  Haven’t used plastic wrap or salt in ages but she says to try both.  I never cared for salt - could never get it all off the paper when dried.

I will do this again on Arches cold press paper (which I am more familiar with).

Nice work, Rhonda. Gotta say I think you aced one of the hardest things about landscape painting: getting natural and varied greens!
(You're welcome! ;-)

Thanks, Laura :). Yeah, I am finally understanding that varied greens are a good thing! ha ha
