Old Farmstead

This is the first oil I've messed with in ages!  I gessoed some 8x10 panels with lots of texture. I tinted the panel with burnt sienna and then did an underpainting in burnt sienna, alizarin crimson and van dyke brown. The landscape is thin washes of color, added and wiped off while the sky is finger painted!  FUN, huh?

Day Three - Farmland

My cousins came through last week on their way out West.  Julie snapped a photo of lovely Nebraska farmland and I painted this pastel from that iPhoto image.  She's coming back through tomorrow on her way home and I'm sure I won't have time to attempt my challenge so will you accept this (which was done in one session, too, just last week, not today.  Okay?)
