Northern View

Following the workshops on painting with a palette knife, I was excited to try some of the things that I had learned.

I went through my own photographs from the Point Lobos area of northern California and chose this one to try out my new skills. I've been working a lot in the 5"x7" lately so it was refreshing to work on a larger painting again.

Working It Out

I have recently taken some workshops on painting with a palette knife. I love painting with a palette knife for various reasons but mostly because I love the sensation of spreading paint around on the canvas (or board).

This is the painting from one of my sessions. It is painted from a photograph the teacher supplied from a trip she took to northern California in May just a month prior to my own trip to the same area.
