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.
