How would I paint this lavender field?

13 Comments

That's the question one of my students asked me recently, "How would I paint this lavender field?"

 

Listen to the thought process for the decisions I make and see the results!

Without! Thank you for the "ah ha" moment -- sky same blue used in shadow... wow. Could be the one thing that I couldn't figure out in my landscapes!

Hands down, the painting with the building is the best. The other painting is really a bit boring and there isn't a strong focal point.

Tricia: I love your work! I am partial to the painting on the left because of the bright colors! I am an oil painter, do you use a medium with the thick paint for faster drying? Thank you! Nancy

Hi, Nancy Young. I use Alkyd oil paint when I paint thickly. Alkyd is a resin that is mixed into the paint that speeds drying. Winsor-Newton makes a line of them. Best, Trisha

Hi Trisha, I prefer the second version because I find it more dynamic and interesting to the eye. Landscape sometimes needs to have colours strokes capturing the eye... and that is what I find here. Thanks for your lesson.

Like the one with the house.

What a helpful video! I liked your first re-creation because of the bright and harmonized colors, and I liked the second one even more because of the buildings (and trees) that really gave power and interest to the image. Great work, and thank you so much for making your thought process so clear and instructive!

I like the 2nd painting, the building is a great focal point but the vertical line of the cypress really makes the painting! Love your work!

I always learn so much with each video you post, they're so helpful when it comes to painting the landscape! I actually love them both. The first feels more abstracted, which is cool as heck, and the 2nd feels more traditional. I think you could choose either one🙏💕

Thanks, Les, for your feedback! I like both of them, too, for different reasons.

Like the 2nd painting best
