Lavender Field

I probably shouldn't post this because I'm not really happy with it but here goes. This is from a photo of my son working in his field under what in reality was a beautiful sunset. I did a little glazing of orange in the sky but maybe it's too intense now. I would like to learn more about glazing because trying to get sky colors down in one pass usually has me making mud! 11x14 oil on paper

Glazing is an art. I was told you should be able to read newsprint under your glaze and your glazing should be directional. That’s all I know. I don’t like it and prefer to remix my color and put it back in. With oils you scrape out and acrylics you paint over.
That’s a nice pice so if you go to it be careful. I agree the sky is beautiful but the orange is too intense and too seperate, need some elsewhere in different values..

That’s what I needed to hear. Thanks Wayne. I’ll try to redo that part of the sky.
