Golden Willows, at the Ford

This was painted very close to where I painted yesterday. Today I have included photos of the preliminary rub in.

The first image is the initial sketch for proportion. The colour is a neutral I mixed that seemed right for this subject.


The second image is rubbing in the brights, and the darks.


The third stage image covers all the white. This whole process takes about twenty minutes. Now the painting proper can begin.


The finished painting an hour or so later.
