"Summer"


I spent the last couple days in a landscape workshop taught by my favorite plein air artist, Scott Powers. He help me face another major challenge of mine, greens. Up until this workshop I really disliked painted foliage in the summer. This study was painted with a rag only. Painting without my usual tools allowed me to concentrate on the essentials, clean simple shapes and value.

Painted only with a rag?? Why don't you challenge yourself? Paint with a leaf or something. Errol was talking about painting with a banana.
