Spring greens & plein air classes





This is a plein air demo from yesterday's class -an exercise in rendering Spring greens




May, oil on canvas, 9x12in, 2012, available


I found the challenges of painting so many greens in Ireland did pay off however the greens here do have more varied yellows this time of year. For Ireland's greens: reds, violets, oranges and Indian yellow were mixed  primarily with indigo and ultramarine blue-some thalo. Of course cadmium yellow light is indispensable no matter where you are.
