Go Big 2

Week two in Laurie's class I brought this 9"X12" sketch that I did at Wakami Lake Provincial Park.  I figured that if I went big with it I could get more layers of clouds and increase the sense of depth.  I always finished a painting in one sitting.  When working outside it is very difficult to go back to the same location with the same conditions. Finishing a plein air painting inside usually kills the freshness.

I worked on this 20"X24" painting for a full class (about 5 hours) and put it away for two weeks.  It was close but it still needed some work.  I brought it back to class and put in a few more hours on it.  I am really excited about this one.  These aren't masterpieces but I have made the jump to painting larger from my sketches.  I have always found the idea intimidating however I can now see me spending a lot of time in my studio at the lake.

It is inspiring how you overcame your fear and started working on bigger canvases.

    I am an artist who works almost exclusively from life.  Either in front of a sitting model or outside at my easel or better yet sitting on a rock during a canoe trip.
