VALDEZ - 30"X24" Work in Progress (Glazes)

Studio No. 516 - VALDEZ (Valdez, New Mexico) - 30"x24" Work in Progress (Glazes) - It is my belief that this stage of the painting is essential - after the underpainting has dried thoroughly, I use my oil painting medium to thin the colors to a transparent or semi-transparent glaze.  This is where I establish the darks and develop a richness to the final painting.  Color Notes:  Earth tones - Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Yellow, Burnt Sienna.  Shadows:  Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple.  Foliage - Darks:  Prussian Blue and Burnt Sienna.  Lighter shades:  Yellow Ochre and Burnt Sienna (and sometimes a dirty brush with the greens still on it - modulates the color).
