The Outside Shore
Demonstration - Clear Creek Bank
The Block-In
 If
you are wondering why the scene behind the easel does not look like the picture
of the scene or my sketch, it is because I set it up facing away from the scene.
I did this so the sun would not be shining directly on my canvas board. My board
is 16x20", which is about as big as I can comfortably work outdoors in oil.
Here is a closer look at my palette. The colors I have laid out, clockwise
starting from the lower left, are white, azo yellow, naphthol red, quinacridone
rose, ultramarine blue, phthalo green, and burnt sienna.
The first thing I did was transfer my sketch to my canvas. I put a very small
amount of burnt sienna paint on my dry brush and drew the same shapes in. I
first drew outlines, but I also very roughly colored in the shapes to show their
relative values. This whole process took less than ten minutes.
