Studio No. 1915 - PUESTA DEL SOL - 40"x40" Work in Progress (Underpainting) - Color Notes: All colors blocked in mixing oils with Grumbacher MG Underpainting White and Distilled Turpentine. Foreground: Yellow Ochre and Cobalt Blue. Trees: Chrome Oxide Green Opaque, some Burnt Sienna and Cobalt Blue. Darker Sky: Dioxazine Purple, Cobalt Blue, some Cadmium Red and Thalo Red Rose. Lighter sky: Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Red, Thalo Red Rose. Grayer areas: Lighter sky colors mixed with Davy's Grey - a "dirty brush". Blue Sky: Cerulean Blue and MG White. It has been very humid lately due to heavy rains - this underpainting needs to dry for about a week to ten days before I go into it with oil painting medium which contains some turpentine.
