WORK IN PROGRESS - NOCHECITA DE TRUCHAS

"NOCHECITA DE TRUCHAS"
(20"x30" Original Oil on Fine Canvas)

It's a cold and snowy day here in Taos -- a fire in the woodstove in the studio - getting down to some serious winter work. The second phase of this painting are the glazes and some middle tones in the sky. Sky -- I glazed the underpainting (see previous post) with Transparent Gold Ochre and Thalo Red Rose -- then "scumbled" (pushed the opaque colors into the glazes while they were wet) in some Permalba White and Cadmium Yellow - Ochres and Cadmium Red for the highest lights -- and moved into the shadow areas with Paynes Grey and my blue sky color. The lower half of the painting -- I have put in the glazes -- dark colors - See my Palette Set up on this page. Now this canvas needs to dry for about a week -- stay tuned!
