Field Notes

We spent time in the Morro Bay area of California a few weeks ago.  I loved the eucalyptis trees and wanted to put some into a painting.  However, it's pretty boring waiting around for someone to finish a sketch and I was not by myself.  I took a photo and then later did a sketch of what I'd like to do with a studio painting.

I am trying to decide what media to use for the finished piece, but probably oils or pastel.


The trees and the light really spoke to me.  

Using my Pitt brush pens I did a quick sketch of how I'd like to do a studio piece with loose strokes and limited colors.  While the trees look a little stiff in the drawing, I really like the feel of the light.  Anxious to get started on this one.
